Impact Dashboard
Barking and Dagenham Giving has always been committed to being open and transparent about our work. To build on this legacy, we are increasing the data we share.
We want our community to better understand the impact we are having on the borough and help identify ways to increase that impact together.
While we will continue to publish annual reports, this dashboard will be regularly updated with our latest data and insights. We think this approach will help ensure that effective decision-making within and about Barking and Dagenham is well informed.
We also hope that this data will be useful to other funding organisations as an example of good practice around funding data.
The data we collect helps us answer three key questions:
Are we creating new opportunities?
- Money brought into the borough;
- Number of opportunities created by BD Giving;
- Themes and location of BD Giving’s work.
Are we making Barking and Dagenham more participatory?
- How much agency people feel they have when they work with us;
- Number of times people engage with us;
- How many people do participants refer into our work.
Are we impacting the borough in an equitable way?
- Overall number of people we reach;
- Diversity within the people we work with;
- How equitable is the work that BD Giving does and funds?
