🧵 I built an interactive data dashboard on Love It or List It UK because apparently that's how I spend my time now.

Awesome day speaking at the Utilita Giving Conference today. Amazing amounts of energy on display to change the energy sector for the better. Let’s beat #FuelPoverty together. #Charity #ThirdSector #SocialImpact

Still buzzing from last Tuesday’s #FutureofSocialImpact2025 Summit. I was incredibly lucky to be joined by some phenomenal guests to present on creating #MeasurementFrameworks that get used and #Data essentials for #SocialImpact. See you all again next year!

Checked the postcode for Buckingham Palace on my new IMD2025.co.uk site Apparently, the neighbours could use a little “levelling up.” See how your area’s deprivation scores have changed between 2019 and 2025. 👑📉 #IMD2025 #DataForGood #LevellingUp #UKData #OpenData #Mapping

The Helsinki Bus Station Theory reminds us: originality isn’t found by starting over. It’s earned by staying long enough to make your work unmistakably yours. 🚌✨ #SocialImpact #StayOnTheBus #Creativity 10/10

🧵 One of my favourite ideas: The Helsinki Bus Station Theory. It’s about creativity, originality, and the courage to stay on the bus — and it has everything to do with creating lasting social impact. #SocialImpact #Creativity 1/10

🚨📊 The English #IndicesOfDeprivation2025 will be released in Oct/Nov this year. This is huge! 🔥 #IMD underpins funding decisions, #research, #policy targeting, and #impact #measurement across England. If you use #postcode #data, map #disadvantage, or care about place-based work, get ready. 🗺️

I’ve got space to take on a new client at The Impact Lab. If you need support with data, research, or strengthening the backbone of your impact work - I’d love to help. More at theimpactlab.co.uk, or feel free to drop me a message.

Here’s how registered deaths have tracked against expected deaths. To be clear: deaths below expectation aren’t automatically a good or bad thing. But deviations like this can point to something important like model flaws, under-reporting, even genuine health trends (NHS waiting lists?) (3/4)

Interesting use of colour on the rating scale for this Net Promoter Score question... 🎨 By coloring 0-6 in red, 7-8 in amber, and 9-10 in green, they're subtly nudging respondents to choose higher scores. 🤔 Is this smart UX or leading the witness? 🚦 #NPS #SurveyBias

Step 5: Calculate SROI 💸 If a programme creates £5M of social value on a £1M budget, then its a £5 return per £1 invested. Which looks clean. But based on what assumptions? 🤔 9/14

The initial findings are already super positive! ✨ It’s amazing to see YMCA Manchester adapting as they go, refining the programme to better serve everyone who steps through their doors. This approach keeps the focus on constant improvement — just how it should be. 🚀 (5/9)

One of the coolest parts: the dashboard even runs statistical tests 🔬 to show when something interesting is happening. No more guessing, no more waiting until the end of a long evaluation process— this is real-time learning at its best. 🤩 (4/9)

What’s social prescribing at YMCA Manchester all about? Over the first 10 weeks, folks who need a little extra support get access to a 🏋️ gym-based programme to boost confidence, build knowledge, and improve overall health, followed by further support to empower people 💪 (2/9)

Whilst I’m on one, is anyone else upset with the new #DryJan #Heineken 0% advert, where the first guy makes an excuse to ‘bale’ on an engagement. His excuse is inspired by him holding a golf club where he says he’s ‘driving’. However, in the advert he’s holding a putter. Feels kinda lazy right?

It’s a good question. Interested to hear thoughts? And whilst we’ve got to start somewhere, for reference, Charity CEOs are trusted less than the ordinary man/women on the street…

Trust in charity CEOs is up 📈 — rising from 44% in 2023 to 51% in 2024 (Ipsos Veracity Index). It’s the biggest jump in nearly a decade. But why? 🤔 Let’s explore a few possibilities… (2/5)

I’m currently looking into #FuelPoverty data for a number of clients. In England, the main contributors are: • Fuel inefficient homes (EPC of grade D or below) • Spending on fuel leaving the household income below 60% of the median. With the above said, this is insane:

Had a few instances lately where charities needed a really quick reflection on deprivation status and location of their beneficiaries for insight, so pulled this free tool together: #Charity #ThirdSector #DataVis #DataAnalysis #OpenData
