Arts Council England awarded £4.58 million in grants to hundreds of groups across the UK as part of a new “Let’s Create Jubilee Fund”.
A total of 704 voluntary and community organisations, including the Muslim Women's Council, received the grants. The aim is to put creativity at the heart of communities’ celebrations for the jubilee in June.
Five groups in Bradford were selected to receive grants, with a total of £49,109 arriving into the city for the special occasion, as Her Majesty The Queen will become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee after 70 years of service.
