The City of London Corporation is pleased to announce the Inspiring London through Culture programme to be open-minded and imaginative in defining the kinds of activities or projects which can be supported.
The City Corporation is one of the UK’s major funders of culture and heritage and directly supports institutions and activities in these fields. It also recognises and welcomes the wide range of organisations, large and small, who further enrich the Square Mile’s cultural offer and who may benefit from additional support or sponsorship to help initiatives to develop.
