Arts cash

In your report ("Arts projects get £2m from crime seizures", May 16) on the funding from government for our CashBack for Communities scheme to support arts activities for 10-19-year-olds, you mistakenly stated that the funding was going to North Edinburgh Arts where the launch took place.

In fact, the £600,000 is being made available to match £1 for £1 business sponsorship of any arts project that will help engage young people with the arts and thus challenge the poverty of aspiration that is so often the reason for a drift into anti-social behaviour and crime.
