Department for Culture, Media and Sport

Protecting the world-class culture at the heart of our communities Almost £130 million will help protect and transform 130 cultural venues, museums, and libraries across England gov.uk/government/new…

The Rt Hon James Murray MP @JamesMurray_ldn has been appointed Secretary of State for Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk.

Fans should be able to enjoy major sporting events without being ripped off by ticket touts. That’s why the Major Events Bill will help make sure tickets are sold fairly through official channels, not exploited for profit by touts.

Sport brings people together and showcases the very best of our country to the world. This Government is making it easier for the UK to host major sporting events, creating jobs and investment, and leaving a lasting legacy in communities across the country.

This week’s King’s Speech set out this Government’s plan to rebuild Britain so people across the country are better off. That means backing every community and making sure opportunity is felt everywhere. A few important @DCMS Bills that will make a real difference 👇

Good to join @USAmbUK Warren A. Stephens at the State Opening of Parliament reception yesterday. We discussed how the UK and US can work together to create more opportunities for young people in the creative industries, from music and film to gaming and digital jobs 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸

Amazing to see teams from England @EITC and Wales @swansfdn @blaenaugwentcbc, competing in the Street Child World Cup in Mexico. The event brings together teams of street-connected young people from around the world to compete in football and take part in arts and advocacy programmes. Well done for representing your countries at the event, and best of luck for the rest of the tournament @StreetChildUtd #IAMSOMEBODY

This week is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek- started the day with a dip in Hampstead Heath Swimming Ponds! 💚☀️🏊‍♀️

One in four boys and young men aged 11-24 say they feel lonely at least some of the time. Sport has the power to bring people together. Let’s ‘Team Up’ to end isolation this #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek Find out more: teamup.campaign.gov.uk

The TV BAFTAs show why British television is in a league of its own. From the power of Adolescence to the drama of The Traitors, our storytellers, crews and on screen talent are world leading. Huge congratulations to every winner and nominee.

This VE Day and always, we will remember the generation that gave everything to restore freedom to Europe. #VEDay81

Today marks 81 years since the end of the Second World War in Europe. Read letters from the Letters to Loved Ones collection, more than 80 years on from VE and VJ Day: letters.ve-vjday80.gov.uk

‘We remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.’ @Steph_Peacock Today we mark the 81st anniversary of VE Day, when the Second World War came to an end in Europe.

On #VEDay81 we're proud to announce funding for Second World War #veterans to travel to commemorations in Europe. Working with @PoppyLegion and charities like @TaxiCharity we're ensuring those who secured our freedoms can return to places that shaped our history. @DCMS @DefenceHQ

Ahead of Mental Health Awareness Week, have a look at these resources from Sport England showing how just a little exercise can make a big difference to our mental health 🙂 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek sportengland.org/MHAW2026

Sport brings people together like nothing else. That's why we're making sure the UK is ready to secure and host the biggest and best sporting events such as the 2035 FIFA Women’s World Cup and potential future Olympic bids. Find out more: bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics…

Great to drop into @ACFoundations parliamentary reception last week to celebrate the vital work done by trusts & foundations. ACF is an important convenor in the sector and it was a pleasure to see so many people and organisations committed to helping our civil society flourish.

Today I joined the Prime Minister in convening cultural organisations asking them to acknowledge when they - like all of us - get it wrong. I am proud that so many, including the Arts Council, have shown a willingness to listen and to act. This sort of leadership really matters
