DataKind UK

Who we are

After over a decade, our support helps the UK's third sector - charities, voluntary organisations, community interest companies, social enterprises, and more - to tackle rising demand, a stretched workforce, and shrinking resources.

Our work creates a third sector that is inspired by what data can do for it, leads the way in responsible data use, and makes its crucial decisions based on accurate, up-to-date information. This enhances its capacity to support people and provide vital services across the country.

To do this, we provide a mixture of remote and in-person data analysis, support, and resources for free across the UK, by matching third sector organisations with skilled data professionals who donate their expertise and time.

Our vision

A strong, thriving third sector that embraces data science to become more impactful.

Our mission
