Our Director Sara was one of three CEOs to give short talks on introducing a data management system into their respective organisations. Useful for smaller charities thinking of digitalising their data. Thanks to @Data_Orchard for the opportunity.

Last year, three #nonprofit CEOs shared honest accounts of the ups and downs of their charities' #data journeys. Watch the event recording and read a write up of the candid Q&A session that followed. The Joy and Pain of Data: A CEO's perspective: buff.ly/3wrPlny

Formal volunteering has stagnated for some time, and took a bad hit during Covid. So today's new research showing one in ten people plan to formally volunteer next year is great news. If all those people did so, it would mean an additional 5.7mn volunteering who aren't today.
Line chart. Informal volunteering slowly declined until 2019/20 where it spikes to 33%. Formal volunteering fell from around 27% in 2013/14 to 21% in 2015/16, flatlined there until 2019/20 when it fell to 17%

12 Festive facts! #2 - A lack of data skills remains a major weakness for #nonprofits. Our '21 data showed skills is the weakest area, and 53% say that there's no one with data analytics expertise within their leadership. A major obstacle is not knowing what skills they need.

12 Festive facts! #1 - The not-for-profit (nfp) sector is still learning about data. Our State of the Sector 2021 data shows most nfp organisations (50%) to be at the ‘Learning’ stage in their journey to data maturity.

In our national accounts, the charity and non-profit sector's raw GVA is estimated to be £16bn. But they miss out volunteering, which add £20bn They don't account for low staff pay, which adds £1.6bn Or for the fact that generating profit isn't the aim, which adds £1bn.
Quote card with a picture of Jamie O'Halloran Economist at PBE saying "Charities and non-profits play a vital role in our society. Yet the way the sector is currently valued in official national accounts has a number of weaknesses, which mean that less than half of the sector’s total value is captured. With just small tweaks, we see drastic changes in how the sector is valued."
