The Council is reportedly considering cuts of 10% and has launched a public consultation, with a survey, into the future of funding for the culture, community, and voluntary sectors in the area.
The MU is concerned by some of Dorset Council's proposals, and particularly the news that they may be considering funding cuts of 10%, which would have a significant effect on arts and culture in Dorset as well as our members' work.
We would encourage all MU members who live and/or work in Dorset to complete the survey and give their views on the Council's proposals. You have until 11 March 2020 to respond.
Take the survey.
