COVID-19: Advice and Support

Arts Council England has launched emergency funding for arts and cultural organisations that are not part of its National Portfolio. Guidance and FAQs are now available for any organisations interested in applying.

Arts Council England has also published guidance for the cultural sector on support from Government for individuals and businesses. The guidance will be updated as further information from HM Treasury and DCMS is received.

Bates Wells is supporting the sector by publishing free legal guidance. The advice is updated regularly, and covers issues arising for many charities in the areas of employment, contracts, solvency, governance, Charity Commission regulation and meetings.
