It is all about supporting people to identify and access the things that could help them.

The level of arts community involvement in local decision-making varies, but there's growing recognition of the important role culture plays in community development and decision-making processes. Local authorities are increasingly developing cultural strategies that actively involve the community in decision-making and planning.
