On Our Terms - KCSC E-bulletin

KCSC's weekly e-bulletin

How and why does the VCS demonstrate impact? Our latest report, On Our Terms, looks at the importance of data collection, analysis and consistency for voluntary organisations. Produced in collaboration with One Westminster, and utilising the valuable insights of 19 VCS local organisations, this research looks at the challenges currently faced due to inconsistency, and explores alternative models for how it could be done differently. You can read the report here.

On the same theme, we are also looking for expressions of interest for a new role; an Expert Partner - Working to use AI for Community Intelligence. Find out more and fill out the form to submit your application.
