Organisational Health Check 2021-22 - Expression of Interest

Created by the Museum Development Network (MDUK), the Organisational Health Check is a tool to help museums benchmark activity, identify what they are doing well, and define areas that need improvement.

We are looking to recruit 10 museums from the south east of England to complete the Organisational Health Check with us in 2021/22.

What’s involved?
Participating museums are asked to complete an online self-assessment questionnaire. We recommend you form a sub-team consisting of three members (one senior staff/trustee; one Front-of-House staff/volunteer; one other staff/volunteer). Your local Museum Development Officer can facilitate the conversation. We will then send you a bespoke Advisory Report based on your answers identifying key areas of development and signposting to resources and opportunities for support. You will then be able to apply for a £1000 grant from South East Museum Development to address a priority development area identified in the Advisory Report.

How to apply
To register your interest, please contact your local Museum Development Officer and complete this Expression of Interest form.
We will assess applications on a rolling basis from 1 October 2021 and will notify you within two weeks of submission.
