About the toolkit
Designed by and for arts and cultural organisations, use this toolkit to collect data and insights from your audiences to understand what they think of your work and make sure your programming is achieving its aims.
Receive 1-to-1 support to make sure you’re capturing the information you need and use your insights to inform future programming, demonstrate the impact of your work, and make the case for funding.
The toolkit also helps make sure arts and cultural organisations are using consistent metrics to collect their data, making it easier to measure and demonstrate the value of the whole arts and culture sector.
