o To support imaginative people to nurture exciting ideas.
o To widen access and participation in the arts.
o To improve people’s education and learning through the arts.
o To show that the arts make a difference to people’s lives.
o To support the development and growth of organisations investing in young people and positive change.
o To improve support for young people who migrate, and strengthen integration so that communities can live well together.
