CapeUK is part of a national network of 10 Bridge Organisations, funded by Arts Council England to use their experience and expertise to regionally connect children and young people, schools and communities with art and culture. The Arts Council believes that every child and young person should have the opportunity to experience the richness of the arts and culture.

We will play a key strategic role in supporting the Arts Council’s ambitions in Yorkshire and the Humber, giving every child and young person the opportunity to experience the richness of the arts. Arts Council England state that; "CapeUK already demonstrate strong partnerships regionally… respected nationally and internationally and as such is well-placed to take up a strategic role. The proposal demonstrates vision, an understanding of the challenges faced and an ability to inspire confidence from both arts and education sectors."
CapeUK will continue to nurture collaborative relationships with and between agencies, arts and cultural organisations, schools, colleges, universities and youth and community organisations building on strong experiences such as Creative Partnerships, North West Arts Learning Consortium and Leeds Find Your Talent.
We will continue to champion the Arts Award – a nationally accredited qualification that supports young people aged 11–25 to develop as artists and arts leaders. From early 2012 award will also be available to children between the ages of 7–11 through Arts Award Discover and Arts Award Explore.
We will also be championing the newly designed Artsmark which is available to a wider range of settings including: further education, pupil referral units and youth justice settings, as well as schools.
