Hello Audience Finders,
Welcome to 2023!
We hope you enjoyed the festive season and are looking forward to the new year.
Just a brief update from us this month as we all ease back into things…
- English NPOs: Are you ready for reporting season?
- Preparing for the Investment Review – A Free Guide to using the Audience Finder Dataset to Support Your Application
- Getting the most from Audience Spectrum
- Updated FAQs on the Future of the Audience Finder Data Tools
We’ve got a couple of events coming up which might be of interest, particularly if you’re an English NPO, or considering applying for funding from the Arts Council of Wales. They’re both free, online, and will offer plenty of opportunities for your questions – we’d love to see you there.
As ever, our team are here to support you so do get in touch if we can help at all.

English NPOs: Are you ready for reporting season?
If your organisation is currently an Arts Council England NPO, then your thoughts will no doubt be turning soon to end-of-year reporting.
ACE will require you to submit a report, generated through Audience Finder Answers, consisting of a survey and/or ticket data from your 2022/23 audiences.
If you’re all set up and happy with this, great! However if you’re feeling unsure of what you need to do to fulfil the ACE requirements, don’t panic.
We have lots of support available, including a free Onboarding session THIS WEEK (Thursday 19 January), which will specifically focus on this topic.
You might also find these resources useful:

This session will cover the audience data collection requirements for organisations who are part of Arts Council England’s 2018-23 National Portfolio: what you’re required to collect, how to collect it, the 2023 deadlines, and how to create your annual report via the Audience Finder data tools.

Join us for this free online event, where we’ll be discussing how to make the most of Wales’ cultural dataset and your own data in your application.
