Data is often described as the currency of the 21st century. In the social sector we’ve always been a bit reticent about data – we’re about people not numbers, aren’t we?
SociaLink’s Community Insights, established in 2020, helps the Western Bay of Plenty social sector build confidence, skills and trust in using data to inform and enhance the work we all do.
