Outcome domains — baseline vs now
Self-assessed against the Story of Change, 0–100. Where has Year 2 moved furthest from the Year-0 baseline?
Reach vs depth, by activity
Each bubble is one strand: how many people it reached (across) against how deeply they took part (up). Bubble size is spend.
Funding blend, year by year
The Arts Council grant holds steady while match funding grows — the leverage the programme is building. £ thousands; Year 3 is the target.
Where the attendances went
