Arts and cultural organisations today are suffering from a plethora of complex challenges, including most notably a reduction in available funding due to a decade of austerity and rise in inflation. Rapidly developing technologies, the need for environmental sustainability, and changing workplace norms are just some of the complexities impacting the sector.

As a result, organisations are facing the need to develop their business models, and change their working systems whilst fundraising from different sources and maintaining workplace wellbeing.

This is where we come in.

We understand that leaders are drowning in the pressure to respond and keep up with all of the change needed with increasingly limited capacity. We are passionate about supporting arts and cultural organisations to develop their businesses so they can sustain themselves in this increasingly challenging landscape.

We do this by:

• Analysing the internal and external situations impacting your business 

• Creating business plans, including marketing and fundraising plans

• Leading consultations with communities and stakeholders 

• Establishing monitoring and evaluation frameworks

• Helping you understand your audiences better

• Delivering business and leadership coaching 

• Assessing gaps and need in governance

• Developing new business models

• Creating ambitious strategies 

We work with you to understand your needs and create bespoke approaches to help you work more strategically and effectively. Our support will enable you to better sustain and grow your organisation, create more ambitious projects and have a greater reach and social impact with your work.
