You have mis-bracketed #5 and #6.
#7 I would call non-finite because the subject and verb are only implied.

You bracketed the main clauses. This is right:

5. Our goal is [to make their voices heard]. Non-finite because infinitive clause
6. [That they are already struggling] troubles Graham Taylor. Finite dependent clause
