Dealing with data - to make the most of it in the media and in the community

Showcasing the work of you and your social enterprise comes in many forms - and building and sharing data is a powerful tool to illustrate your impact on individuals, the community and society as a whole.

It is a great way to get you noticed by customers/stakeholders and funders - and adds validity to your case studies, marketing and PR.

Join former journalist and PR expert Kirsty Day from media community specialist social enterprise Yellow Jigsaw as she shares tricks of the trade to:

• Identify and understand how to use your data (and the data that is important to your cause) including building surveys, working with YouGov, SurveyMonkey and understanding your social impact.

• Disseminate this important information to the media, stakeholders, the communities you serve and funders - for maximum benefit.

• Request data and information via Freedom of Information requests to support your organisations cause and build campaigns.

UnLtd - Foundation for Social Entrepreneurs

UnLtd is the foundation for social entrepreneurs. We empower people from all backgrounds to change our society for the better through sustainable, purposeful business, in local communities or across the UK.

We know social entrepreneurs offer some of the best solutions to loneliness, employment, community resilience and our nation’s long term economic, social and cultural health. To help them succeed we provide:

1. grant funding and access to blended finance,

2. wraparound business support from our 1-to-1 advisors

3. access to professional and peer support networks

By making business leadership more accessible for a diverse group of entrepreneurs, we can generate a diverse range of solutions that address societies complex needs. In 2020 we supported 662 social entrepreneurs and committed to giving 50% of all our early-stage funding to entrepreneurs who identify as Black, Asian or from a minority ethnic background and/or disabled entrepreneurs.
