  14. INCOME dhacommunications.co.uk

  15. INCOME Taking each area of funding separately: • Total income is up by 3% on 2009/10 • Earned income is down by 1% on 2009/10 • Arts Council/Government income is down by 4% on 2009/10 • Local authority funding is down by 7% on 2009/10 • Contributed income is up by 44% on 2009/10 dhacommunications.co.uk

  16. INCOME – INFLATION ADJUSTED Adjusting income for inflation (CPI) gives a different picture: • Total income is down by 7% on 2009/10 • Earned income is down by 11% on 2009/10 • Arts Council/Government income is down by 14% on 2009/10 • Local authority funding is down by 16% on 2009/10 • Contributed income is up by 30% on 2009/10 dhacommunications.co.uk

  17. PROPORTIONS OF TOTAL INCOME dhacommunications.co.uk

  18. INCOME • In terms of proportion, contributed income has risen by 5% whilst public investment has reduced by 3% as has earned income • Whilst the total pie has grown (up 3% on 2009/10) to £140 million, contributed income has become more important • Contributed income is still barely a fifth (18%) of total and public investment is down to 34% (from 37%) as a proportion of total • Earned income is close to 50% of total income, as a proportion of total. dhacommunications.co.uk

  19. CONTRIBUTED INCOME dhacommunications.co.uk

  20. CONTRIBUTED INCOME • Of orchestras’ contributed income, 38% is restricted to specific projects, particularly education, touring and building new facilities. • This means around £9.4m of orchestras’ £24.8m contributed income is restricted to be spent on particular projects and cannot be used to substitute directly for the fall in public investment. dhacommunications.co.uk

  21. IMPLICATIONS Strong narrative across most areas surveyed Orchestras delivering more: • Attendance up • Huge community reach • International tours strong • Embracing new technology • Artistic product protected • Tackling challenge of reduced public funding • Contributed income has more than made up for reduced public investmentin nominal terms – although there has been an overall fall in real terms. • Have orchestras shown the cuts are justified? Can they withstand more? dhacommunications.co.uk
