Government to fund the creation of more arts, drama and music clubs

What the petition asks
We think the government should give every child the opportunity to learn creative skills like music or acting for free, rather than families having to rely on private teachers.
We want children from families of all incomes to have the opportunity to discover their creative talent and for young people to have something fulfilling to do outside of school.
In many areas, community and arts centres for people of all ages are scarce. This can mean that kids resort to spending their time engaging in antisocial activities that effect our communities.
Every child deserves a place where they belong and can express themselves and it's unfair that in some regions, children miss out on these opportunities due to their parents not being able to afford private lessons.
