Equality and diversity action plan

Milton Keynes is one of the most diverse cities in the UK, with over 40% of our school children speaking English as a second language. We know that this rich diversity is not reflected in our cultural offer or our audiences.

Following a robust and in-depth period of research, a report in 2019 (see below) identified gaps in provision and challenges to participation. These findings are now informing the delivery of evidence-based interventions to address these challenges.

Cultural infrastructure plan

As the city grows, our cultural infrastructure will need to grow. In order to map out current provision and any gaps, the culture team has commissioned in 2021 an infrastructure plan, setting out a clear and comprehensive strategy for cultural infrastructure growth and investment over a 10-year period.
