Lost Arts has been set up by eight unions whose members will be directly affected by cuts to the Arts: the MU, Equity, BECTU, the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain, the NUJ, UNITE, Prospect and PCS. The group aims to make sure that the effects of these cuts are fully recorded and publicised. In order to prevent the effects of the cuts being forgotten over time, the Lost Arts campaign and website have been established. Anyone who wants to submit details about how they have been affected due to cuts in public funding, can do so and help maintain a running total of the money lost to the arts.
