The third sector and data
As a charity, we understand the challenges facing the third sector, and how data-informed evaluation, analysis, and insights can help to tackle them!
We’ve seen the organisations that work with us create more effective decision-making, simpler problem-solving, and better operational practices by embracing data-informed ways of working.
What can it do for you?
What else can better data use and a data-informed approach do for your organisation?
Evaluate impact, assess and analyse the outcomes of programmes, and monitor service users’ progress with useful analysis techniques.
Improve services, boost engagement, and measure demand by finding deeper insights about beneficiaries.
Find unmet need, target services and resources, and make informed strategic decisions by benchmarking against external data sets.
Improve capacity, simplify decision-making, and save time on admin with effective tools and data-informed processes.
Advocate and influence for your cause, engage new partners, and create coalitions with powerful evidence about your impact.
Build funding appeals, discover new audiences, and understand donor churn with audience analysis.
Improve data management and collection, develop team skills and data literacy, and connect with peers.
Create a data-informed culture, help other staff understand its value, and get senior buy-in and investment in data use by sharing practical insights.
“It really helped us understand how we could make better decisions as an organisation.”

Transparency and ethics
We’re all about transparent, ethical, and responsible data use - it’s one of our values.
It’s the skill of being able to understand the limitations of data and data-driven processes, and we want everyone to share it.
The third sector in particular holds data about vulnerable individuals and sensitive topics, so safeguarding, privacy, and security is always a priority.
