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.

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.
