Exploring small charity data in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and the data sets, free and low cost digital tools and specialist support organisations that can help.
Superhighways and Kingston Voluntary Action brought together charity professionals and data experts for a day of data discovery.
This webinar will demonstrate how to use HealthyCity.org to enhance your grant proposals and reports with visually impactful and relevant data and maps. Learn how to access data highlighting the needs and opportunities within your communities and how to make the case that your program will make a difference.
Discover how data analysis has been used to help identify and track troubled families, in particular within a context of ever changing family environments and the need for evidence to justify payments by results, which the Aspirational Families programme achieved a 100% target for.

Presentations at the NHS and Liverpool structures, priorities and commissioning workshop on Tuesday 11 September at The Accelerator Building, Liverpool
Using Kingston's JSNA data to meet local needSuperhighways
Kingston Council's Public Health team shared how a comprehensive picture of the assessment of current and future health & social care needs of the local population can help communities in Kingston at the Kingston Data Hack day in June 2018.
This is the presentation following our second Insight Seminar in partnership with Bigwave media. Speakers included Simon Beer, Lesley Aiken, Carl Bennett, Alex Burrows & David Monkhouse.
Thanks to computers, it is easier to collect and obtain data for a grant proposal than ever before. There’s so much data, though, that it can difficult to determine which data to present—especially when grant applications only allow concise answers.
This webinar explains which data grantmakers are looking for, and where to present statistics and other information within the grant proposal. Multiple examples from actual, funded grant proposals will show how data solves grant writers’ most knotty problems by creating need statements, formulating project objectives, devising evaluation measures, and more.

Evidence and Wellbeing | Local Authority Case StudiesAndrea Edwards
Using wellbeing evidence in Local Authorities: Case study findings
Presented by Pippa Coutts, Carnegie UK Trust, and Stewart Martin.
This session will present the findings from case studies in Fife, Hertfordshire, South Norfolk and Brighton & Hove, which looked at how these Local Authorities use evidence on wellbeing in their decision making.
Cities are becoming the most prominent context for social change in the world today, and they offer exciting opportunities for participative governance. A model of “systematic civic stewardship” frames the city as community-based, action-learning system. Leaders play key roles in neighborhood teams focused on local challenges (graduation rates, health outcomes, etc.), while learning and working with peers via city-wide communities of practice. We have much to learn about learning systems in any context—understanding how they work in communities and cities draws on organization experience and provokes new insights.

Adjusting primitives for graph : SHORT REPORT / NOTESSubhajit Sahu
Graph algorithms, like PageRank Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) is an adjacency-list based graph representation that is
Multiply with different modes (map)

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Kingston Grants applications
• 9 organisations supported with general fundraising advice, including
reviewing applications
• 4 GRANTfinder searches carried out
• Feedback so far:
• ‘Very helpful, knowledgeable and timely - I didn't know such a service existed. Could
well make the difference between achieving grant funding or not.’
• ‘Knowledgeable, accessible, timely service, thank you. Please consider a paid-for
service for additional support e.g. bid writing. Thank you!’
9. “ I believe very strongly that charities benefit from
investing in upskilling their workforce around IT and Excel
is a fantastic tool. I will be encouraging my fellow
workers to attend Superhighways Excel training
themselves.
Not only did the course give me confidence that the
spreadsheets I have already designed to capture
elements of our outcomes are well thought out, it gave
me other ideas of things I can do.”
11. Our problem!
• Our database didn’t have the reporting capacity we needed to really analyse
our data.
• These were some of the questions we wanted to ask
1. What are the genders, ages, postcodes, of the children who regularly attend our project? who do they care for and what are the
conditions of the people they care for?
2. Are the statistics of the group that do attend reflective of the statistics of ALL the children that are registered with our project but don’t
attend regularly ? If not why not?
3 . Are the statistics of the children registered on our database reflective of those held by Kingston Data Observatory on the
demographics of the borough? Are the statistics of the children attending our project reflective of the those same statistics? Do we
engage the local Korean population for example?
4. Where are the gaps? What are the trends? What should we be applying for project funding for? Do children who care for a parent with
a physical illness attend the same as those suffering from substance misuse? Do children who care for a parent attend more or less
frequently than those who care for a sibling? Do teenage boys engage more or less than teenage girls? Are we engaging all Young
Carers across the borough?
14. Summary
• Excel has provided an excellent low cost tool for us in the
face of database problems
• Easy for staff to learn how to use
• Cheap to build
• Fun to use!
• Great for reporting!
• Give us confidence we know our project
• Allows for constant monitoring
• Easy to analyse trends
• Thanks Kate and Superhighways for introducing us!

33. The Kingston Joint Strategic
Needs Assessment (JSNA)
Kingston’s Voluntary & Community Sector Group
12th June 2018
Richard Mayo Centre, Kingston
Julia Waters
Public Health Principal
Royal Borough of Kingston
35. A JSNA
• Is a comprehensive picture of the assessment of current and future
health & social care needs of the local population that can be used by
the LA, CCG and NHS England when developing or reviewing
commissioning plans.
• Produced in consultation with local community, taking in to account
broad contextual issues such as demographics and the wider
determinants of health e.g. education, employment, housing, and
environment which impact on local people’s health and wellbeing.
36. A JSNA should:
1. Show what is working? What is not? What could work better? What
are the major health inequalities? What can we do about them? What
does an analysis of unmet needs, seldom-heard populations &
vulnerable groups tell us?
2. Inform the commissioning & decision-making regarding where to
invest or disinvest resources across health, wellbeing, and social care
services for better health and wellbeing outcomes and best value?
3. Provide summary information on strategic picture for health &
wellbeing for wider audiences eg public, NHS England, service
providers, local media, voluntary & community sector, elected
members, or any audience the health & wellbeing board considers
appropriate.
37. What data should a JSNA include?
1. population-level eg growth, migration, gender, age,
2. social & place eg housing quality, environment, employment,
educational attainment, benefit uptake, vulnerable groups, crime.
3. Lifestyle determinants of health eg exercise, smoking, diet, alcohol.
4. Epidemiology eg life expectancy, long-term conditions.
5. Service access and utilisation eg emergency admissions, vulnerable
groups receiving care, benefits uptake, screening uptake, transport.
6. Evidence of effectiveness eg good practice, guidelines, quality
standards
7. Community perspectives eg experiences of service users & local
communities about what contributes to good health.
8. Other information eg from voluntary sector, qualitative sources, service
providers, private sector.
39. Local authorities and clinical commissioning
groups (CCGs) have an equal and joint statutory
duty to develop JSNAs and Joint Health and
Wellbeing Strategies (JHWSs), on behalf of the
Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB).
41. 1. No need exists in isolation
The challenge of persistent health inequalities &
complex needs groups cannot be addressed by any
single agency alone.
Partnership is the only workable solution to the big
challenges that we face.
42. 2. A single, agreed picture of true needs is essential
for strategic planning
Without it, decision-makers will not be able to
coordinate joint actions effectively, nor identify what
the most important investments are for today or
tomorrow.
Without shared priorities based on JSNA, the same
problems will come up again & again.
43. 3. A clearer picture of needs means stronger
partnerships
Partners are better able to understand & value each other’s
contribution by recognising the interdependency of public
services.
Partners know what they’re doing & why, & agree ‘the
buck stops with all of us’.
44. 4. Demand is not the same as need
Building an objective picture of needs, not demand, is
fundamental to ensuring that the right people get the
right services, at the right time, in the right place.

52. Kingston Young Carers (YCs) & Young Adult Carers Needs Assessment 2018
• To assess effective implementation of Children and Families Act 2014 (under 18s rights to
an assessment - aims to prevent inappropriate caring roles impacting on child’s
development) & of Care Act 2014 (18-24 year olds rights to an assessment - assists child
transitioning into adulthood).
• To assess how much multi-agency services address needs of YCs & the whole family.
Barriers YCs face in accessing health, social care, social, leisure services, finance,
employment, housing services.
• To understand support that could be made available through communities & voluntary
sector.
• To improve identification & self-identification of YCs & their families in order to improve
timely access to appropriate & effective services.
• To assess the extent to which the voice of YCs including older YCs are heard & identify
mechanisms to capture their voice.
• To identify issues that occur at transition (from childrens to adults).
53. Methods used
• Literature review.
• 4 Focus groups of 33 young carers aged 7 – 18.
• Interviews with 5 parents of young carers.
• Survey of 23 young carers aged 9 – 18 and 2 young adult carers aged
18-24.
• Survey of 5 young carers leads in primary and secondary schools
• Interviews with 17 professionals across healthcare, schools, Childrens
and Adults Social Care, voluntary organisations (eg Express CIC, Yorda
Adventures, RAK, Kingston YCP).
54. Korean Needs Assessment, 2018
Overall aim was to gain further understanding of the needs of the local
Korean community in Kingston. It seeks to recommend measures, or
initiatives for the Council, its partners and the community to take in
order to promote the wellbeing of communities. The research will
inform the Council’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA).
55. Methods used
These consisted of a mixture of focus groups & interviews, with professionals & service
providers, North Korean community members & South Korean community members.
Focus groups with professionals were held at Kingston University. Drop-in community
workshops and focus groups were advertised in Korean Newspapers and held at the New
Malden Methodist Church:
• Predominantly qualitative – capturing experiences, stories of those in & working with
the community
• 98 participants:
o3 focus groups with professionals & services providers (22)
o4 focus groups/interviews with N Korean community (25 participants)
o5 focus groups/group interviews with the S Korean community (19 participants)
o13 interviews with professionals & services providers (representing education,
health, mental health, culture Korean culture events, Korean newspaper, Korean
School and Korean Community Centre, Language schools) (14 participants)
o18 short interviews/questionnaires with Koreans in New Malden.
56. Some Recommendations
Cultural Engagement
• Support Korean events &
festivals.
• Consider engagement
strategy based around
cultural exchange rather than
‘education’.
Focus on Needs of N. Korean community & Vulnerable groups
• Develop information for professionals regarding different
subgroups & different needs that define the Korean
community in Kingston.
• Identify and provide community space for the N. Korean
community
• Provide Targeted Mental Health Support for the N.
Korean community
• Identify strategies for services to respond to the severe
hardship faced by large sections of N. Korean Community,
& in particular by older residents & single mothers.
• Identify strategies for services to respond to the housing
difficulties many N Koreans face - & in particular amongst
older residents & single mothers.
• Identify strategies for services to respond to the
uncertainty many N Koreans face over their Immigration
status
57. Examples of how other JSNAs has been used
1. Dementia JSNA section has informed the local Dementia Strategy, which
recognises that voluntary sector is key to supporting people with dementia.
2. JSNA on Depression, Self-Harm and Suicide has been used to inform the
multiagency Suicide Prevention Strategy.
3. Carers JSNA section has informed and underpinned the new carers
specification and re-commissioning within the voluntary sector for carers
support as part of Active and Supportive communities.
4. Refugees and Asylum Seekers used to inform the strategy and action plan.
5. Gypsy and Roma Traveller JSNA informed the community-based activity
which helped improve links into healthcare eg antenatal care and mental
health.
6. The Korean Community JSNA has assisted co-producing bid with Korea
Connect - activities for Korean elders and single mothers.
58. Data is only a means to an end.
Gathering it in one place is just one part of the overall JSNA process.
Analysing it to build intelligence, inform priorities & drive change will
be another.
Proposed Ways forward
1. JSNA content – pictorial representation of data & information
2. Process of developing JSNAs
3. Awareness of JSNA, influencing Policy & Commissioning - further efforts &
developments to ensure routine utilisation of the JSNA across the whole Kingston
system to ensure it is an effective tool in underpinning commissioning across RBK, the
voluntary sector & NHS.
63. What we do
We support grantmakers to publish their grants data openly,
to understand their data and to use the data as part of a
more innovative and informed approach to grantmaking.
64. UK grantmaking in numbers 2015/6
166k = UK charities
390k = Civil society organisations
£3.3bn = Government grants to voluntary sector
£2.9bn = Grants awarded by Top 300 foundations

65. Data to help answer questions
Who else is funding these organisations/sectors?
I care about x region - is enough funding going there?
How can I make my applications more targeted?
Am I duplicating work that others are doing?
