Welsh arts organisations have cautiously welcomed £53m in emergency funding, according to news outlet Nation Cymru.

"We hope that the timing of the fund is not too late for some but certainly it will be welcome in terms of securing a level of security in planning up to the spring of next year."

Simon Curtis, Equity National Organiser for Wales, said it was "positive to see" the Arts Council of Wales trying to maintain companies until March 2021.
