Wales risks being left behind in cultural and sporting achievement
15-02-2022 of the Cardiff City Stadium, Wales.

A SENEDD COMMITTEE report launching today, shows that, after a decade of cuts, Wales ranks third from bottom of European countries in terms of spending per person on recreational and sporting services and second from bottom for cultural services.

The Senedd’s culture and sport committee has released a comprehensive report detailing the severe impact of a decade of funding cuts on the culture and sport sectors in Wales. The committee has taken evidence from many key organisations across Wales who have raised serious concerns.

The report calls for action and increased funding from the Welsh government and highlights an urgent need for a strategy.
