We support and connect people, projects and ideas around the use of appropriate data or insight as the direct response to natural and meaningful questions. We centre everything on social purpose and a core aim: what does this mean we can (all) do next?

A most excellent summary of our NHS-funded work with @CitizenForward in #Sheffield to start and build a conversation around neighbourhoods in the city. Thanks, @nowthenmag! 🙂
Thank you to @Maptionnaire and @felt too for making the mapping tools that underpinned this 🙌

Does #Sheffield have 147 neighbourhoods?
Well maybe - at least we think this (based on citizen data) is a good place to start for human scale and recognisable communities for citizen action. @DataforAction @CitizenForward @citizen_network @OpusIndependent @EmmaLatimer3
