About us
Who we are
Data Orchard CIC is a social enterprise with a vision of a world enriched and empowered through data. Our mission is to enable every nonprofit organisation to use data effectively to achieve their goals. We do three key things:
- Build organisations’ data skills and capabilities
- Gather, explore and analyse data for organisations
- Promote the importance and value of data for good
Since 2013 Data Orchard has become established as one of the UK’s leading pioneers in supporting organisations to build their data capabilities. We have a small team of five employees and a range of associates who work on 30-40 projects a year with clients in the charity, housing, public and social enterprise sectors. Our unique research and resource development in organisational data maturity has enabled us to reach and support partners and clients around the UK, and increasingly internationally. Data Orchard is committed to building a team which is diverse in skills, experience, gender, ethnicity and socio-economic background.
