The infographic summarises the key findings from Wavehill’s impact assessment of Creative Wales’ production funding. It is structured into several sections with green and white boxes, icons, and large headline figures.
Title: Examining the impact of the Creative Wales Funded Productions
Funding Overview
A set of three bold statistics is presented:
Between 2020 and 2025 Creative Wales awarded £23.7m in funding to 45 screen and digital projects.
This investment is expected to leverage £263.9m of production expenditure in Wales (2024/25 prices).
This equates to approximately £11.15 in estimated production spend in Wales for every £1 of Creative Wales funding.
Economic Impact (Including Induced Effects)
This section contains four headline impact statistics:
Every £1 of Creative Wales funding generated £6.76 in direct and indirect GVA.
2,835 full-time equivalent jobs in Wales supported by funded productions.
£177.8m in Gross Value Added (GVA) in Wales.
The total direct GVA contribution of production is 26% of the total output of Wales’ Film, TV, Radio, and Photography sector in 2023.
Screen-Induced Tourism Estimates
Screen-induced tourism linked to Creative Wales-supported productions could contribute up to £226.4m in GVA and support up to 1,400 full-time equivalent jobs.
