The Case for Culture: What Northern Culture Needs to Rebuild, Rebalance and Recover: APPG Northern Culture Inquiry Report into Post-Covid Cultural Recovery

The North has a proud history and heritage. Culture connects us like nothing else and the pandemic has reminded us that place and participation matters now more than ever. The challenge is to preserve what we have and create new culture, as well as ensuring that culture is by all, and for all, going forwards.
We believe that the Northern Culture APPG Inquiry recommendations represent a significant milestone for all those who live, work, rest and play in the North. Our report makes the Case for Culture and sets out clearly what Northern Culture needs to rebuild, rebalance and recover.

Taken together, our findings and recommendations map a bold post-pandemic pathway to recovery and sustainable growth for Northern culture. The North could easily become a leader in sustainable cultural production and consumption and sustainability needs, to become a central tenant of any post-covid UK cultural sector.
