Does culture matter to you?  If it really does, then Monday 23^rd January is the last chance to add your voice to the growing number of supporters who call for culture to be recognised within the nation’s well-being survey.  The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is seeking views on ‘What matters to you?’ around a set of domains and headline indicators (which don’t include culture) outlined in this discussion paper; the online survey is available here – we urge you to fill it in as the indicators are likely to influence future government policy.  Have a look at the Museums Association response. TheTMA/SOLT & ITC have also produced a measurement tool for performing arts organisations to measure the impact of live performance on peoples’ well-being here.
