Data and Intelligence in the VCSE Sector in Greater Manchester

The purpose was to understand the current situation and engage the sector in exploring how data and intelligence could contribute to improving VCSE activity and services. Over six months we engaged with over 300 people to:

• Map the data and intelligence ecosystem

• Assess VCSE data maturity, capacity and capability

• Deep dive into data maturity with organisations supporting people experiencing severe and multiple deprivation

• Identify case studies of inspiring organisations’ data journeys

• Develop recommendations for a set of potential pilot projects in response to needs and opportunities

‍

The result was this brilliant 62 page report, which achieves a full assessment of the current state of data maturity, exploration of the challenges and barriers, and identified opportunities and actions for advancing data capabilities in the Greater Manchester VCSE sector.
