The importance of culture, leisure and sport in addressing issues such as social inclusion, health and crime is becoming increasingly apparent. Government Offices work with a range of regional and local partners to identify where links can be made with other government programmes at local level..
More information on the national picture
Our work includes Government policy on sport, museums, libraries, archives, heritage, tourism, the Lottery, gambling and architecture. Government Office for the West Midlands also supports the West Midlands Cultural Consortium (Culture West Midlands) set up by DCMS to champion the cultural sectors in the West Midlands.

Working Together
A booklet (see below) has been published by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). It gives a useful summary of what it does, who it works with, and why. Although aimed at local councillors it will interest anyone wanting to know more about DCMS. DCMS have also recently published a new leaflet entitled 'DCMS - About Us' which is also available to view or upload via the related documents below.
