DataKind UK

Description

DataKind UK help charities use their data to deliver better services and demonstrate impact.

More than half of UK charities need support to make sense of data but lack the funding and skills. DataKind fill this gap by providing free support through a network of volunteers so charities can better support people, work smarter, and make a stronger case for funding. They’ve already supported nearly 300 organisations. Demand has surged, with waiting lists growing, and volunteers can’t be onboarded or matched quickly enough.

DataKind plan to use the funding to recruit a Team Coordinator and increase CEO capacity, allowing them to implement a more agile delivery model, while developing new income streams and securing more partnerships. This will help DataKind to make real progress towards closing the Third Sector data gap.
