In the charity's own words
DataKind UK believes data can have a transformative effect on how charities make decisions and create social change. It can be difficult for charities to fund analytic posts. Meanwhile, many data scientists want to help make the world a better place. We provide data scientists with a way to volunteer their skills on charity projects and show charities the power of their data.
