CHAIR’S FOREWORD

The past year has seen DataKind UK grow in size and impact as it started to implement its new five-year strategy and continued delivering programs that are helping UK charities make better use of data science to aid their work.

The DataKind UK team expanded and adapted to change. It was joined by Laura Kim, its Head of Operations and EA to the CEO, and Amanda Cave, its Team Coordinator. It welcomed Nish Doshi to its team as Community Manager of the Data Collective initiative - a burgeoning community for people who work with data in the social sector. These are all new roles for the organisation.

Long term staff members have continued to thrive. Together with Nicole Holgate, Suzy East, Dulcie Vousden and Giselle Cory, the core team is now 7 staff.

DataKind UK is grateful for the contributions of its associates, who work with them on a freelance basis. It continues to be supported in its communications work by Laura Townshend, and the ‘data about the sector’ work within the Data Collective has benefited from the energy and commitment of Roz Sutton and Tom Watson.

DataKind UK has also been grateful for the opportunities to work in collaboration with other infrastructure organisations in the social sector. In particular, the Data4Good Festival was made possible by a network of partners, without whom the event would not have been possible or successful: 360Giving, CAST, the Centre for Youth Impact, Charity Comms, Charity Digital, Data Orchard, Effini, the Greater London Authority, London Funders, London Plus, New Philanthropy Capital (NPC), the Open Data Institute, Open Data Manchester, Pro Bono Economics, Pro Bono OR, RnR Organisation/Digital WM News, RSS Statisticians for Society, Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations, Sheffield Data For Good, the Small Charities Coalition and Superhighways. DataKind UK would also like to thank the sponsors that made it possible: Software, Teradata, The Data Lab, Oxford Consultants for Social Inclusion (OCSI) and Sail Databank. It would also like to thank Beacon House event management and David Ainsworth, for their significant contributions to the project.

Its partnership with 360Giving, to support funders to use data better, has proved to be a success, and it hopes to continue to build this partnership over the years to come.

DataKind UK is also grateful for support from its sister organisation and founding DataKind chapter based in the USA, DataKind Global, Inc.

The board formally approved a new five-year strategy in September 2021. The strategy builds on DataKind UK's experience and focuses on creating social sector leaders engaged in using data science, and supportive communities of data science in the social sector. It'll also invest in making DataKind UK's work go further by working with others to showcase responsible data science in the sector, and supporting a thriving volunteer community, with a focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

The team has already begun to implement this new strategy. For example, DataKind UK worked with 27 partner organisations to host the Data4Good Festival in May. Over three days, 485 people participated in a programme of 73 sessions, with contributions from 100 speakers sharing stories of using data to improve their impact.

DataKind UK continues to deliver using its established model. Over the year the team provided light touch support and advice to around 44 charities; worked with nine charities to scope or run DataDives, and ran seven DataCorps projects. Fundamental to delivering this

DocuSign Envelope ID: 8AE8368F-A5E2-465E-9C82-8816A6A1A795

work has been the community of data scientist volunteers who continue to bring their enthusiasm and expertise to support the work of UK charities.

I would like to thank the 16 charities and social enterprises that DataKind UK has run data projects with during the reporting year: Action for Children, The Brilliant Club, Brightside, The Cares Family, Chasing the Stigma, City Year UK, Depaul UK, Evidence for Development, FareShare, London Funders, Sight Concern Bedfordshire, Vista, The Mix, Stop the Traffik, Street League and Well Grounded.

I’d also like to thank its many funders, supporters and collaborators. Over the period it has received funding from Bank of America, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Open Society Foundations, Teradata and Mango solutions. Thanks also to Esmée Fairbairn Foundation for hosting DataKind UK in their London offices.

Over the next year the organisation will continue implementing the new strategy & raising funds to support the disciplined growth required to do so. Staff development and management will be essential as the organisation develops a new Senior Leadership Team. It will also invest time in developing board governance and operations to meet the needs of the organisation.

DataKind UK finishes the year with general reserves at the top end of its target range. This is a purposeful decision, based on the likely need to invest in the organisation as it ramps up implementation of a new strategy (2022-26), growing the organisation and diversifying its programmes.

DataKind UK goes into 2022 in a good financial position, with a strong demand for its services, and a healthy pipeline of projects built on the back of an excellent reputation in the sector. The team is eager to implement the new strategy and I and the board are looking forward to working with them on this. I’m confident the organisation will continue to deliver its mission and demonstrate the tremendous value it brings to the social sector.

Tariq Khokhar, Chair of Trustees

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (including Directors)

The Trustees present their Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

DataKind UK exists to support social change organisations to use data science to have more of an impact. It does this by connecting with some of the UK’s best data scientists, for free. DataKind UK understands that data science is new territory for many social change organisations, so its programmes are designed to guide organisations through first-time data science projects, and to build up their confidence. It draws on eight years of experience of highlighting the opportunities and navigating the challenges of using data science in the social sector. As a charity, its support and advice are independent.

As it implements a new strategy, it will develop new activities focussed on engaging leaders in social sector organisations. It'll also run more sector-wide programs, such as the Data Collective.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Between April 2021 and March 2022, DataKind UK continued its mission to support social change organisations to use data to transform their impact.

DataKind UK structures its work with charities depending on their need. For light-touch support, monthly “Office Hours” sessions enable any social change organisation in the UK to contact them and talk to a data expert for an hour. For more substantial engagements, “DataDives” are six to eight-week projects that culminate in a weekend event where problem-owners within social sector organisations can interact with data scientists who are ready to answer their questions and provide the insights the organisation needs into its data. Finally, for deeper engagements, “DataCorps” are six to twelve-month-long data projects that unites social change organisations with a team of experienced data scientists to build and implement a bespoke data science solution, model, or tools for them. Previously in-person, DataDives and DataCorps have been successfully delivered online this year.

DataKind UK provided light touch support and advice to around 43 charities, pointing them down the right data path through its Office Hours programme. More than half of these organisations were based outside of London.

It worked with nine social change organisations to run DataDive projects:.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued)

Impact

The value of what DataKind UK does can be most clearly seen in the impact felt within its partner organisations following a DataDive or DataCorps project. DataKind UK’s volunteers have supported several UK organisations. It’s grateful for the feedback received and share three examples below.

STOP THE TRAFFIK

Since February 2021, anti-trafficking campaigner STOP THE TRAFFIK (STT)’s DataCorps project team have been developing a data-processing pipeline from multiple-language text sources, and conducting relevant analysis to enhance understanding of trafficking routes and trends. The team worked exceptionally well together and produced a web scraper and classifier that looks for possible reports of human trafficking online in two languages, and classifies them. This increases the volume of data STT can process and analyse.

The STT staff who worked with us sent a moving letter of thanks: “Your work can and will change the world and will always be a part of STT’s legacy. I thank you, both from this professional level of what your talent and hard work will allow us to achieve, but from a personal level for the time you have given through a difficult year, for coming together as largely strangers for a cause that you may have known little about before embarking on this journey.”

Depaul

In July 2020 we ran a DataDive project with national homelessness charity Depaul. They focus on supporting young people affected by homelessness, centred on young people’s wellbeing, using an assessment tool called the Youth Homelessness Outcomes Tracker (YHOT). Outcomes from the DataDive weekend included new ways they could examine their data for further insight; where services could be tailored based on using the user needs that their data showed; and discovering tools they could use to present this information in order to pass on recommendations for improving the tool to other parts of the organisation.

Two years later, in March 2022, they wrote: “We knew that the tool held masses of potential for understanding the needs of young people at risk of homelessness, the outcomes they experience when accessing services, and the effectiveness of the support they received. Working with DataKind UK supported us to fully realise this potential... We’re proud to be an increasingly data-driven organisation, and we’re excited to continue to invest in the Tracker so that other organisations, and the young people they support, can benefit from using it too.”

Brightside

Brightside’s mission is to help more young people achieve their potential, and access higher education if they choose to. To do this, they connect young people to inspiring and supportive mentors. They said: "The DataDive was a really positive experience for Brightside. The weekend was exhilarating and a lot of fun, and it really showed us the value of using data science to understand and increase its impact on young people. The findings will inform its day-to-day delivery as well as its impact strategy - a really worthwhile project and we are excited to work with DataKind again in the future!"

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued)

PERFORMANCE OF FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES AGAINST OBJECTIVES SET

The majority of its income came from donations and grants and together, these make up over £284,530 of income for the period. In addition, it earned £94,284 of income for providing services to charities in the UK.

Its donations mostly come from multi-year grants. Note that the charities taking up its services (earned income) are less likely to do so in multiple years. As the aim of its work is to build data science capacity within the social sector, it hopes that organisations who contract with them (particularly for DataCorps) are able to make sustainable in-house improvements to their data science capacity. Therefore, it would not look for or expect recurring income from providing services to the same charities year after year.

FUNDERS

DataKind UK is grateful for the continued support of its funding partners

Many of its funders are repeat funders, and DataKind UK is thankful for their ongoing contributions.

VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers are at the heart of DataKind UK. In 2021/22 it worked with around 124 pro bono data scientists across all of its charity projects, plus a further 27 supported them with its core activities by leading and growing its community, scoping its projects, assessing its impact, and ensuring responsible data use sits at the core of its work, among other activities. DataKind UK is grateful for their service to the sector, their expertise and energy, and their ongoing commitment.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Overall, income was similar to last year, expenditure rose and it generated a small surplus. Income fell slightly from £391,255 (2020/21) to £378,814 (2021/22). Expenditure rose this year from £277,346 (2020/21) to £331,545. Overall, income exceeded expenditure by £47,269.

The principal reason for the slight fall in income was the Data Collective pilot which was funded and mostly run in the 2020/21 reporting year but did not receive repeat funding until the latter part of the 2021/22 reporting year, therefore there was both a funding and delivery gap during the first half of 2021/22. Expenditure rose because of spending on the Data4Good Festival, and a planned increase in staff costs with new hires coming on board.

The Charity’s financial position remains sound with total funds amounting to £241,415 at the year-end suggesting a sufficient margin of solvency to allow the Charity to continue to operate in the near future. The Trustees are aware that the Charity’s ability to continue operations in the longer term depends on its ability to secure grant funding, win contracts where appropriate, and develop its network of corporate sponsors.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued)

Going Concern

Note 12 to the accounts explains that the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on it being able to secure fresh sources of income. A number of bids are being pursued and efforts made to contain costs within the constraints of the income available. Whilst the Trustees acknowledge the inherent uncertainties that exist, they have nevertheless decided that it is appropriate to produce the accounts on a going concern basis.

Investment policy

There are no restrictions on the Charity’s power to invest and the current policy is to invest in short term funds with the Charity’s bankers.

Reserves policy

In order to provide a quality, effective and efficient service to its beneficiaries, the Trustees have set a reserves level that in the event of funding not being sufficient to cover expenses in the future that a smooth transition can be made to a lower level of service. The Trustees have a target of approximately three to six months of budgeted operating expenses, being between £110,000 to £220,000 based on budgeted expenditure for 2022/23. The Trustees will review the reserve policy on an annual basis.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Structure

DataKind (UK) Limited is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 26th March 2013. The liability of each member (members are solely its Trustees) in the event of winding up is limited to a maximum of £1.

Governance and Management

The trustees of the charity are also directors of the company. In accordance with the governing document, there shall be not less than three Trustees at any time. Trustees are selected according to their ability to meet the needs of governance of DataKind UK. This may include experience of data science, fundraising, leadership, charity management, finance, governance, or other skills that the board may decide. Trustees are appointed by a vote of the board. It takes into account the gender balance of the board. One of the positions on the board may be nominated by DataKind in the US but must still be approved by the board. In order for Trustees to undertake such responsibilities, appropriate Charity Commission publications, in particular the booklet, ‘The Essential Trustee : What you need to know’ is given to each Director as part of their induction process.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

I report to the Charity on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 12-23.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the Charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b)of the Act

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

12 GOING CONCERN

In common with a number of charities of similar size, DataKind (UK)’s ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future depends on its ability to secure grants and contracts from various agencies.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and the Trustees believe no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have therefore concluded that it remains appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.

The Trustees recognise however that these matters are inherently uncertain and should existing funding streams be disrupted or, additional funding not become available, the Trustees may have no alternative but to cease operations.

13 COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

The Charity is limited by guarantee and accordingly has no share capital. The liability guaranteed by each member is £1. At 31 March 2022 the membership was seven. All current members are also Directors and Trustees.

14 CONTROL

The Charity decisions are made by the trustees as a body which is detailed on page 2 of this report. No one trustee or group of trustees has dominant control.

15 RELATED PARTIES

During the year £52 was spent on costs related to Trustees.
