Arts Council of Wales and Arts Council England funding cuts are putting the future of Welsh National Opera (WNO) at risk. These cuts must not be allowed to happen on our watch

A shocking 84% of children in Cardiff haven't learned to swim. Unconscionable.

It is time to take our leisure centres out of the hands of GLL back into council control and develop a city-wide swimming strategy for our children and young people.

#Steelworkers from @tatasteeluk #PortTalbot handed in our 30,000 strong petition to the Welsh Government at the #Senedd today.
Unite will fight tooth and nail for our members' jobs and communities, and the future of our UK #steel industry.
Now our politicians must do the same.

Make decisions about Welsh heritage with evidence. St Fagans was not reckless spending. The BIGGEST grant into Wales from the Heritage Fund.

Fantastic news - the petition calling for the Welsh Government to increase funding for the culture sector in Wales has reached over 10,000 signatures and is now eligible for debate in the Senedd. Diolch yn fawr pawb nation.cymru/news/museum-pe…

Not only are orchestra & chorus to be made part-time at Welsh National Opera & two touring venues cut next spring, but now voluntary redundancy has been offered across the rest of the company.

#SaveUKSteel

1,500 Tata steelworkers based in Port Talbot and Newport Llanwern have voted decisively to strike over plan to close its blast furnaces and shed 2,800 jobs. First time in over 40 years that Port Talbot steelworkers have gone on strike.

.Rishi Sunak showing just how much he listens to Wales 🤦

Might explain why he thinks £500 million of public money to fund 2,800 job cuts in Port Talbot and Llanwern is acceptable 🤔

Really looking forward to this event in #Cardiff on Saturday.

So it’s public now. 😥 My husband is a member of the #Orchestra of Welsh National Opera where it’s proposed they go to part-time contracts as of next April. I have tried to bang WNO’s drum since the Arts Council England cuts, but the attention has been elsewhere...🧵musiciansunion.org.uk/news/mu-respon…

It’s not possible to overstate what a devastating impact the cuts by Welsh Government to culture and heritage is going to have on Wales. cutting specialist curators at national level, with no succession planning will effect every level of our museums.

Nope. We need our cultural institutions to be led by people actually prepared to fight back against the austerity agenda, not sell it to the public with word games.
