The UK Cultural Cities Enquiry recommended that cities and districts form Cultural Compacts to bring together a broad spectrum of stakeholders with a shared interest in the role of culture in creating happy, prosperous, inclusive places.

This document provides an initial framework to guide the work of Wakefield’s new Creative Compact. The framework sets out how Creative Wakefield will bring together the arts, businesses, community, health, education and planning with a shared vision to drive forward an outstanding quality of life for everyone, with creativity at the heart of this vision.
