Summary written by Accountability Index from the government's response. It is not the government's own words.

The 12 National Lottery Distributors say they "welcome the Committee's focus on grant acknowledgement" and set out the changes each has "committed to" in response to Recommendation 9.

  • The Distributors state they "have taken on the committee's recommendation to consider" how recipients can more effectively ensure beneficiaries know the source of funding.
  • The National Lottery Community Fund says all new £1m+ grant holders "will now be provided a communications protocol" setting out expectations over the life of their award.
  • Arts Council England is "currently reviewing" its grant terms and conditions to introduce scaled acknowledgement requirements, and its relationship work "could include" consequences for non-compliance.
  • Arts Council Wales says it will announce a new group of multi-year funded organisations in April 2024, aligned with a re-branding exercise.
