To oversee and support the delivery of the Cultural Framework a board has been developed bringing together strategic cultural partners from across the city. The board meets on a monthly basis and minutes of these meetings can be found on this page.

The Cultural Framework Board is working on a number of new initiatives for Preston as part of the Towns Fund, which is a £3.6 billion fund established by the government to level up towns and cities around the country.

The Preston Cultural Networks Investigation report aims to inform future Brewtime projects and to support future funding bids.
