Bedfordshire & Luton Community Foundation are proud to have been commissioned by Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) to deliver the UKSPF Culture Fund, a new high-quality arts and culture grant scheme to support communities and deliver outcomes across its strategic objectives in Central Bedfordshire. Central Bedfordshire Council plays a leadership and enabling role in supporting the culture sector in Central Bedfordshire. This programme is part-funded by UK Shared Prosperity Fund and is an opportunity to support the cultural sector and local communities within Central Bedfordshire.
