Download or read book Heritage Lottery Fund written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-03-16 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since it was set up in 1994, the Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded £3.8 billion of funding to some 24,000 projects. This report looks at how the money has been spent, what has been achieved, and the effectiveness of the grant-making process. It is based on a detailed review of 30 projects, a survey of applicants and interviews with staff. The conclusion is that the Fund has been successful in supporting projects that are helping to preserve the heritage of the UK. Although its robust processes have led to better and more sustainable projects, more should be done to reduce the burden on applicants, speed the delivery of projects, and provide more support for those who need it.

Download or read book Museum Practice written by Conal McCarthy and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-11-19 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MUSEUM PR ACTICE Edited by CONAL MCCARTHY Museum Practice covers the professional work carried out in museums and art galleries of all types, including the core functions of management, collections, exhibitions, and programs. Some forms of museum practice are familiar to visitors, yet within these diverse and complex institutions many practices are hidden from view, such as creating marketing campaigns, curating and designing exhibitions, developing fundraising and sponsorship plans, crafting mission statements, handling repatriation claims, dealing with digital media, and more. Focused on what actually occurs in everyday museum work, this volume offers contributions from experienced professionals and academics that cover a wide range of subjects including policy frameworks, ethical guidelines, approaches to conservation, collection care and management, exhibition development and public programs. From internal processes such as leadership, governance and strategic planning, to public facing roles in interpretation, visitor research and community engagement and learning, each essential component of contemporary museum practice is thoroughly discussed.
Download or read book The Office Accommodation of the Department for Culture Media and Sport and Its Sponsored Bodies written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-03-16 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report looks at the cost and utilization of the office accommodation occupied by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and 24 of its sponsored bodies. The 25 organisations covered by this report spent some £43 million in 2004-05. The focus of the report is on cost efficiency, with consideration of two key indicators (i) the cost of space (rent, rates and operating costs such as cleaning and utilities); (ii) the way that space is used (the number of square metres per member of staff), which combined, give the measure of cost per person. The NAO sets out a number of recommendations: that all organizations should adopt the efficiency measurement as based on cost per unit of space, space per person and cost per person; that performance data in measuring efficiency should be shared across departments; further efficiency measures should be examined, including renegotiating rental payments; reducing operating costs; subletting space to others; reducing demand for workstations. Also longer term policies should be taken into consideration such as: reorganizing existing offices into more space efficient layouts; exploring the scope for achieving savings through moving premises; achieving economies of scale. Further to this, all organizations should have an accommodation strategy, and adopt a coordinated approach to property management.

Download or read book The National Lottery and Its Regulation written by Andrew Douglas and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2001-12-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of a National Lottery into the United Kingdom created a unique regulatory challenge. The response to this challenge is embodied in arrangements informed not by international precedent but by privatisation policies pursued by successive Conservative governments between 1979 and 1994 when the Lottery was launched. Dr Douglas assesses the success of the Lottery's regulation against the objectives set out in the enabling legislation: the upholding of the Lottery's propriety, the protection of the players, and the maximising of the funds to be applied to the Good Causes. Lessons learned during the initial Licence period will inform the new seven year Licence from October 2001, the operator chosen for the new term, and in particular the role of the profit motive within the new arrangements.

This book was released on 2005-11-30 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the wide range of organisations it sponsors spend about £575 million a year buying goods and services. This NAO report examines the procurement practices used by the 25 largest organisations which are responsible for 97 per cent of the sector's procurement spend. Findings include that, whilst there are examples of good practice, procurement capabilities and practices are on the whole underdeveloped across the sector, and that better procurement practice could result in overall annual savings of £14 million by 2008-09 and double this within five years. The report sets out recommendations for ways to make further efficiencies into procurement across the sector, including improving co-ordinating how organisations work together to share knowledge and resources and to harness their buying power.
