Many are allocated a certain amount of funding for creative resources, this has been cut down to minimal amounts. The funding cuts affect many people including children. I didn't specify this at first because I wanted to see whether people would just assume I meant art- as in painting. I have got a very clear impression that people are ignorant about the impact of these cuts and have a pretty narrowed opinion.

1. Donations & fund raising carried out by these establishments themselves, many other organisations are also sustaining cuts to their funding but seem to manage. There are many folk of my age & those of a more senior generation who managed well enough on their own efforts & merits, money from government was unheard of & unexpected, self sufficiency being their mantra.
2. Since you've now seen the depth of feeling to Art "as in painting" & you've now confirmed your interest as to why you posed such a question phrased as it was, you've concluded people are ignorant & narrow minded ! If you'd been more honest & open from the outset, you'd have found probably a more amenable & receptive response. As it is your funding is being
reduced, not removed so destitution isn't imminent is it ? As I've stated previously self reliance & better distribution of assets will have to be more pertinent in your daily dealings.
Unfortunately that is UK's lot & it's going to be a damn site worse in the near future until the Country is turned around & brought back to a semblance of normality with things being all rosy in the garden again. So until then there's going to be quite a lot of hurt, which folk'll have to suck up & say "Thank you" for !
