Research into the Barriers to Cultural Participation in Birmingham

In February 2010, Ecorys UK (formerly ECOTEC Research and Consulting) was commissioned by the Birmingham Cultural Partnership (BCP) to review existing data and research on the barriers to cultural participation and the cultural needs of the residents of Birmingham. 

The report looks at what types of cultural facilities are used; which groups are most and least likely to use cultural facilities; and the barriers and motivations to participation and attendance.  The report concludes with an overall analysis of the demand for culture that identifies shared issues and challenges across the cultural sector.
