Anyone interested in sponsoring findthatpostcode.uk/ ? Does fairly well in google hits for postcode pages, might suit a geodata company. Not looking for megabucks, just want to cover server costs.

Interesting & very positive news: @DCMS is next year going to pay for a booster sample to the Community Life Survey so that it can produce "meaningful estimates at the local authority Level".
Fingers crossed, this includes the questions on #volunteering gov.uk/government/publicatio…

To start Small Charity Week, read @JonDeanStuff's blog about six things you need to know about small charities. He links to important research on small charity impact, fundraising, brand, fraud, efficiency and data: vssn.org.uk/2023/06/19/6-thi… @SmallCharity_Wk #smallcharityweek

Postcodes in Polygon: an #opendata tool from @datadaptive. Draw a shape on a map, get a list of postcodes. datadaptive.com/pip/ (Great Britain only)
Now updated with postcode data from the latest release of the ONS Postcode Directory (May 2023).

Last week we (@OpenInnovates ) started a fantastic project with @jrf_uk to start building the Data Infrastructure for Insight on Poverty across North England - open-innovations.org/blog/20…
This is for Everyone ✊
Best bit is the other dancers look like this is the first time they've heard the song #cro #Eurovision2023
Any geodata people making a map of the locations shown before the songs? #eurovision
Excited to find out that @CharityRandom has tweeted over 50,000 random UK charities in its sporadic 7-year existence. Roughly 1/4ish of the whole sector.

London #smallbutvital charities (under £1m) - Have you done something with data? Made a decision, planned a service, adapted to a need, told a Local Authority what's happening locally. Me and @SuperhighwaysUK need examples to share with funders. Email [email protected]
Updated github.com/drkane/geo-lookup… with the latest codes for the new local authorities that started in April 2023. #geodata
findthatpostcode.uk will be updated when the new register of geographic codes gets released by @ONSgeography
