    Value for money

    Questions you might ask yourself

    • Do we know how our value for money compares with similar arts organisations?

    • Do we know what each area of our activity costs?

    • Do we regularly review the price of our ongoing costs, including utilities?

    • Do we request estimates before committing to large items of expenditure?

    • Have we explored uniting with other organisations to increase our bargaining power?

    What success looks like

    • We consider the value for money we offer our funders and audiences.

    • We have procurement processes that ensure we achieve the best possible value for money.
