The Welsh Government has issued a consultation on the development of a ‘Culture and Sport Strategy’ by ‘establishing the current state of play, identifying the outcomes… to deliver for Wales, and working with partners to co-design the actions needed to get there’, to 18/12.
The Welsh Government writes:
… The Welsh Government’s call for evidence, A vision for culture and sport in Wales, is now available…
… This government believes that culture, heritage, the arts and sport are not luxuries in Wales. They are essential to how we tell our stories, how we express our values, understand ourselves and connect with others.
In 10 years time, Wales will be a nation where culture and sport are not seen as optional extras, but as an essential part of national life.
We want culture and sport to be recognised as a powerful force for individual health and wellbeing, community connection, economic opportunity, international profile and national confidence.
…
Our new culture and sport strategy for Wales
We will develop a Culture and Sport Strategy for Wales by establishing the current state of play, identifying the outcomes we want culture and sport to deliver for Wales, and working with partners to co-design the actions needed to get there.
Have your say
We want to hear from everyone with an interest in culture and sport in Wales, from grassroots and volunteer-led groups to national organisations, as well as those who want to help shape Wales’s future cultural and sporting success.
The Welsh Government’s call for evidence, A vision for culture and sport in Wales, is now available. The call is seeking views to inform the development of a new Culture and Sport Strategy for Wales.
Please share this call for evidence widely with your networks and contacts.
The deadline for responses is 18 December 2026.
