Datawise London was set up to help charities and community organisations to better use data to make informed decisions of how best to meet the needs of Londoners.
The first round of Cornerstone funded work (2019 - 2021) had a focus on delivering training, advice and practical support to help small charities develop data and digital skills they need to deliver the best possible activities and outcomes for local people.
Our second round of funding (2022 - 2025) enabled us to focus on other aspects of systems change, with work looking at five overlapping strands:
- Data journeys
- Data platforms and tools
- Data learning resources
- Data about the sector
- Peer to peer data spaces
Partners
The Datawise London partnership has brought together a range of expert organisations to both shape the strategic direction of the programme and deliver direct support where needed.
Funder
Superhighways, part of Kingston Voluntary Action, is one of only a small number of programmes in London to receive funding from the Cornerstone Fund.
This multi-funder initiative tested how civil society infrastructure could be jointly funded in London applying a systems change approach resulting in a thriving civil society and better outcomes for Londoners.
We are grateful to City Bridge Foundation, the funding arm of The City of London Corporation’s charity, Bridge House Estates, who funded this work from 2019 to 2025.
