As part of London Data Week, we are excited to showcase a fantastic new resource developed by Datawise London. Key data about the Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector in London has been brought together in the VCSE Dashboard – a free, easy to use tool designed to help stakeholders across the city use data more confidently and effectively.
Why this matters
For many charities and community groups in London, accessing reliable data can be a challenge, especially when trying to evidence need, support funding bids, or understand the wider sector.
The VCSE Dashboard has been designed to change that. It brings together key open data sources into one simple, interactive dashboard.
What you can do with it
The dashboard makes it easier to:
- Understand the VCSE landscape in London
- Spot gaps or opportunities in local and regional service provision
- Inform your planning and delivery
- Share clear insights with key stakeholders
- And more!
Whether you’re just starting your data journey or looking for a quick way to add context to your work, this is a tool worth exploring.
See examples of how the dashboard can be used here.

To support ongoing development, Datawise London hosts monthly drop-in sessions for anyone working in or with the VCSE sector. These sessions are a chance to share feedback, suggest improvements, and ask questions about using the dashboard.
