Excited to launch this week a collaboration between me, @CWDamm_CRESR and NCVO: a new way of categorising charities. charityclassification.org.uk/blog/2021/10/0…

@thomasforth .vote-totals { font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums; }

I appreciate the way that this makes the Tory vote look even smaller but ideally those thousand-separating commas would line up vertically.

Red drink to start.

@_c_walker @NCVO Fantastic to work with you at the start of the 9 years - good luck with the next steps!

#SomePersonalNews After 9 years, this week is my last @NCVO - I've had a great time and worked with (and continue to work with) lots of brilliant people (1/4)

📢We’re hiring! We’re looking for a Data Support Lead to join our small, friendly team and support us to develop and deliver our data support and analysis Learn more⬇️ threesixtygiving.org/data-support-l… #OpenData #Data4Good #CharityJobs #DataAnalysis #DataAdvisor

Really excited for the #Gladiators final. We've all made posters.

@paulineroche @uktechforgood @UKGovCamp Thanks Pauline. At the moment the server costs are roughly £40 a month so any fraction of that would help

@kanedr How much would this cost David? Looks like a useful tool that orgs involved in @uktechforgood network or @UKGovCamp might support

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/pub…

🎉We've won the #OpenUKAwards2023 award for open data! 🏆 We're really honoured to have been alongside so many great candidates, and immensely grateful to be recognised for our work making UK grantmaking more informed, effective and strategic through open grants data

Thanks to @mySociety we now have a final, complete UK hex file for the new constituencies with all official area codes, electorate data and have published as csv, geojson, gpkg, shp for anyone to use Files: automaticknowledge.org/wpc-hex/ Web map: #6/54.171/-0.991" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">automaticknowledge.org/betahex/#6/54.…

@undertheraedar Ah hang on, I think it's length of borough name

A very annoying 'what is this showing?' map of Greater London for today's #30DayMapChallenge

@undertheraedar regularity of shape? (lighter = closest to a circle)

We’re in #Manchester tomorrow for #CPC23. Come down and see us in Exchange Square from 10am for something exciting… 👀

@paul_clarke Bart's Hospital...
