As part of our Heritage Compass Legacy work with MyCake Ltd, we are examining patterns in profit/loss making by heritage sub-sector. Heritage Compass participants have been allocated to 1 of 6 sub-sectors of heritage activity, which match the National Lottery Heritage Fund sub-sectors. This allows us to look at the patterns in the data by turnover band and by sub-sector of activity. We first applied this approach in our previous report https://lnkd.in/e8Kn8N32 - we have now extended the analysis to cover the four years of data from 2019 to 2022. One pattern we explore is surplus (when income exceeds expenditure by more than 2% of income in a given year vs deficit (when expenditure exceeds income by more than 2% of income). This analysis: 💡 Gives organisations a baseline to compare their own journey through Covid 💡 Helps you identify that if you are working in an area that has overall taken longer to recover then how does this support your fundraising efforts?  💡 It also provides useful data to government and private funders to understand the longer-term impacts of Covid and respond with policies to help the sector through recovery. So, let’s look at some sub-sector examples: Image 1: Organisations in all sectors showed a higher proportion making a profit in 2021 than in 2019. There is a pattern of loss-making for Historic Buildings & Monuments showing they are the only sub-sector where the proportion of organisations making a deficit increases in 2021. ·       Does this matter?  ·       What impact is it having on the overall financial resilience of organisations post-Covid?  Image 2: A second perspective on the data is to look at the 4yr trend by sub-sector of the proportion of organisations who are making a profit or break even – the desired position.   What this data shows is that whilst a greater proportion of Historic Buildings and Monuments made a loss mid-Covid, they have recovered better than Industrial, Maritime & Transport organisations or those operating in Community Heritage and Land & Nature. If you would like to explore the benchmark data as it relates to your organisation, we have 5 new benchmark dashboards available, free, to all users of the Cause4 Heritage Benchmark and Heritage Compass Benchmark.
