Colchester Arts Centre is a great #ThirdPlace in the UK. Stephen Rohan writes on MyThirdPlace: "Colchester’s Arts Centre has been running since 1980 (one year before I was born) and is arguably one of Colchester’s most important creative spaces. The venue is run by a dedicated team of locals who have a passion for music, the arts and entertainment. As a focal point of the Colchester community, The Arts Centre engages in lots of outreach work that directly benefits Colchester residents and others. Current programmes include African Families UK which provides a space for African families to get together, and the second is the recently formed Gamechanger Pt 2, which aims to help those in often-neglected areas around Colchester and Tendring such as Jaywick. The venue is also partnered with local and nationwide charities including Nightshelter and Colchester FoodBank, and it’s possible to make donations via the website, as well as donations to the Arts Centre itself" Read Stephen's full article here: https://lnkd.in/eHF_YFsk #thirdplace #thirdspace #socialspace

It's well understood that performance venues, museums, public media, and other non-profits can't survive -- even as non-profits -- on income from the work they do. That is: selling tickets, ads, memberships, and sponsorships (along with annual gifts, individual donations, and bequests) simply won't pay the bills for rent, heat, and wages. In some cases, benefits are off the table completely. As a result, most medium to large sized non-profits rely heavily on grants -- many from federal and state sources. In this political climate, it may be time to rethink this "reality" of the nonprofit world. Why can movie theaters survive on ticket sales when live theaters can't -- even with supplemented income from sponsors and subscribers? Why can privately owned media thrive on ad revenue when public media can't do the same with sponsors whose ads play hourly? Why don't huge tuitions from thousands of students, along with generous donations from alumni, cover the costs of universities? I can't help but wonder whether it might be time for some new models...

Listening locally.... We can't quote listening figures in the way that BBC and Commercial radio stations do, but we have conducted surveys, with support of the UK Community Radio Network to discover the impact of what we do locally For our listeners, when it comes to local business, organisations, and charities a large percentage were aware of them due to information played out on K107FM – 82%. Trust of this information was also high, with 72% saying they were more likely to trust information about local business, organisations, and charities played out on K107FM as opposed to elsewhere. In addition, 70% were more likely to act upon such information as a result of hearing it specifically with us, with 68% having engaged with local business, organisations, and charities (for example by buying from them, using their services, or donating to them) as a direct result of hearing about them on K107FM Increase brand awareness, from a trusted source - your local radio station! 📻 Could we help you in 2025? 📧 sales@k107.co.uk
