Welcome

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) is at the heart of the government’s economic and social agendas. A quarter of UK businesses are in their sectors and are among the most exciting and fastest growing of the whole economy. They provide 5.2 million jobs and deliver £38bn worth of exports. Their mission is to drive growth, enrich lives and promote Britain to the world.

Their work, over more than 25 years, has become woven into the fabric of the nation - its great sporting triumphs, moments of national remembrance and celebration and unforgettable arts and media events. They provide the infrastructure, like superfast broadband and 5G, that boosts economies and increases competitiveness. They connect individuals and communities to each other and support them to play their part in strengthening communities, through their work to combat loneliness and boost civil society.

Working in conjunction with their over 40 Arms Length Bodies they strive to create the conditions for everyone to enjoy their national culture, play sport, make the most of new technologies and have access to effective communications. Their sectors are critical to ensuring they have a strong place in the world - creating a global UK whose cultural, technological, creative, community and sporting assets mark them out as an essential partner for trade and investment. And making places that people want to live in, work in, invest in and visit.

Their strategic objectives set out how they deliver their vision of driving growth, enriching lives and promoting Britain to the world.
