Equipping your charity with the information to make informed decisions and make the most impact

As a charity ourselves, we know that charities are called upon to provide a range of services. They also have a duty to use funding and other resources as effectively as possible. Whether you are looking to expand or simply work more effectively, we can work with your existing expertise in a number of ways:

Visualising and Layering complex data, making it easy to understand and analyse
Bringing together your own information with other specialist data-sets
Helping you make informed decisions based on a sound understanding of where you work (or want to work)
Comparing support and donations in a given area against geographic, social and economic factors at the click of a button (over time, analysis of such information can demonstrate where events, research and marketing activities are working and highlight where improvement is needed)

EXAMPLE

An organisation has a list of members and wants to understand better how they are geographically located to create more informed decisions. As part of the work, we overlay their information with the locations of publicity funded facilities to create a gap analysis.

We use industry leading GIS technology, but to a different brief: we're a part of the a not-for-profit federation of local trusts called Groundwork, whose aim is to create better neighborhoods, improve job prospects and encourage greener ways of living throughout the UK.

As well as mapping and analysis, our friendly team also have expertise in surveying, on-site software training and 3D modeling, and tailor every package to suit. As part of Groundwork, we are able to bring real-life experience of community development and environmental projects to the table, giving GIS a human side.

EXAMPLE

A large regional charity requests their projects be mapped against national indictators such as IMD to ensure they are hitting target audiences. Realising the potential for forward planning they then request the local development framework be mapped for each Local Authority in the region so they can ensure they work in area highlighted by a key funder.
