Following pronouncements made in December 2010 by Jeremy Hunt, Secretary of State, Department of the Olympics, Culture Media and Sport on the potential of legacy giving as a key revenue source for the arts, Arts Quarter and Legacy Foresight have published the findings from their first survey on levels of legacy fundraising within the sector. This latest AQ/LF Report highlights not only opportunities for significant growth but also a fundamental need for capacity building if the aspirations of the Coalition Government are to be realised.
For more information, or a copy of the report, contact Meg Abdy at m.abdy@legacyforesight.co.uk
Those interested in finding out more about the project might want to have a look at our recent progress report which describes some of the observations and reflections emerging out of the initial stages of the project, focusing on how participation is organised and the roles and understandings of the institutions and facilitators of participation.

This blog post on the NCVO website has a rough go at estimating the sector's carbon footprint by looking at emissions per employee using research done by Chris Goodall at www.lowcarbonlife.net on carbon emissions for office based companies.
