Commissioning Works
Commissioning Works is a new project in development that aims to enable Development Trust Association members and third sector arts organisations to win and deliver public sector contracts.
Our aim over one year is to provide:
- events to bring DTA members and arts organisations together to explore market opportunities
- a peer learning programme to establish best practice in responding to bidding opportunities
- practitioner led workshops to widen the field of bid ready groups
- mentoring in support of bid development

Measuring Value
How do you capture the value of what you do in terms other than jobs created or saved - especially if that's not what you set out to do? How do you convince funders that they should invest in you? How do you stay confident in your belief that what you do is making a positive difference?
We think we have found a way of measuring value that could work for people in the cultural sector and are currently piloting work with Pen and Tonic and Tin Arts, two of the region's participatory arts organisations. We are using Social Return on Investment - a way of measuring and ascribing value to the process of change. To find out more, click here
