Creating a more impactful third sector through improved data use

DataKind UK was joined by a panel of charity leaders for a fascinating discussion about how data use can maximise your organisation’s impact.

While our panellists' organisations share a focus on educational equity, they face very different goals and challenges, from improving membership to assessing wellbeing.

Lindsey MacDonald, CEO of Magic Breakfast and Vice-Chair of DataKind UK's board of trustees, leads a conversation between:

• Joana Matos, Systems Data Insight Lead, Parentkind

• Peyman Owladi, CTO, Learning with Parents

• Tom Shirley, Director, Illustrating Impact

• and Amanda Vernalls, Head of Research & Insight, Youth Sport Trust

To discuss the differences between their data collection, explore how a range of data techniques and approaches can be applied to tackle a broad spectrum of issues, and consider why cross-sector collaboration is vital.

By learning how to use data more effectively through one of our programmes, they were all able to draw out insights, overcome sticking points, and work through operational challenges to better achieve their purpose.
