The main role of the Premier League is to manage the top flight of football in the country.
Arts Council England
Arts Council England is the other funder of the Premier League Reading Stars project, helping us to reach hundreds of schools, libraries and football clubs. Its main function is to ensure the wellbeing of the arts in the nation, by providing support and funding for artists and organisations. Arts Council England works to get great art to everyone by championing, developing and investing in artistic experiences that enrich people's lives. It supports a range of artistic activities from theatre to music, literature to dance, photography to digital art, and carnival to crafts. Between 2011 and 2015, it will invest £1.4 billion of public money from government and a further £0.85 billion from the National Lottery to create these experiences for as many people as possible across the country.
