Lincoln Cathedral Learning, Arts, Culture and Events CIO was established in November 2017 as a charitable incorporated organisation. It advances education and promotes the arts, culture, heritage and religious harmony in and around Lincoln Cathedral, a historic landmark and community hub in Lincolnshire. The charity's mission is to enrich the Cathedral's educational, artistic, musical and cultural outreach through inclusive programming, events and fundraising that foster accessibility, diversity, excellence and public benefit. Rooted in the Cathedral's distinct sacred-secular balance, it uses the venue's presence to deliver high-impact cultural activity. Its funding character is collaborative and project-based, supporting work that brings music, art, heritage and learning together for a wide public audience across the county.
