As part of Heritage Compass, Cause4 worked with MyCake to provide a detailed Heritage Dashboard for organisations to benchmark their data against other organisations in the sector. As Heritage Compass has come to an end, access to this dashboard is now closed; however, if you are interested in working directly with MyCake to access this data, please contact them at [email protected].
Financial Sustainability: Setting the Right Direction
This report aims to use data to help us reflect upon the financial sustainability of heritage organisations. It provides a snapshot of organisations at the start of their Heritage Compass journey, prior to the onset of Covid-19.
It sets a benchmark against which we can compare future years, particularly as the sector emerges from the challenges of the pandemic. In a period of change, it is also helpful to understand what might be considered ‘normal’ and how your organisation compares.
