Audience Development Health Check

Bespoke success criteria for your organisation

The online assessment to take your audience development to the next level

Flying Geese Consultancy have developed a series of standards that enable arts, heritage and cultural organisations develop better practice in audience development.ย 

The Arts and Culture Health Check is an online assessment tool that enables organisations to understand how they fare against these standards and offers bespoke success criteria tailored to each individual organisation to take their practice to the next level.

Why Take The Assessment?

Know your current audience development strengths and weaknesses

The trick to audience development is to position your creative offer in a way that is relevant to your target markets and communities. Our FREE online health check offers FREE feedback to identify which areas of audience development you excel in and where there is room for improvement.

Save time and stress when reporting to your funders

Funders are keen to understand what your organisation is doing to become more relevant and reflective of your target audiences and communities. Our assessment gives you performance results and targets that you can use directly in your applications and evaluations.

Bristol Old Vic Theatre School took the Arts and Culture Audience Development Health Check in January 2024, and realised that there was opportunity to diversify their audiences. Flying Geese supported the team in developing a strategy that seeks to make their audiences more reflective of the Bristol community.
