Based on the Culture Strategy 2017-2030[1] the city aims to change perceptions and attitudes towards culture and the arts, moving the focus from what they cost to what they create. All decision-making reports are required to address the implications of decisions on equality, diversity, cohesion and integration. The city is running a Language Hub grant programme, which offers funding of up to £5000 for activities in communities which bring people together from new and settled communities to share their skills, build relationships and have opportunities to practise conversational English. Additionally, the Leeds Inspired Grant Scheme[2] funds arts and culture activity across all communities in the city and supports approximately 60 projects per year.
