The Charity Digital Skills Report is the annual barometer of charities’ digital skills, attitudes and behaviours.
The report aims to:
- Track charities’ changing digital priorities post-lockdown and during the cost of living crisis.
- Understand key trends in how charities’ use of digital is evolving.
- Identify the support and funding charities need to progress with digital, including any barriers facing minority groups, so that we can make the case for change.
- Measure where charities have skills gaps and what they need to grow their digital knowledge and confidence.
The 2023 edition is a bumper report including data and insight about the following:
- How the sector is responding to AI
- The effect of the cost of living crisis on charities’ digital progress
- Digital funding and support needs of charites led by or supporting specific marginalised groups, as well as sector wide funding and support needs for charities of all sizes
- Digital trends, skills and progress across the sector
- 10 digital calls to action for the sector. What do we all need to do now?
- A checklist for funders to help them offer more impactful digital funding and funder plus support
- Case studies of charities doing pioneering work with digital, from Scouts to RNID to Travel Hands
- Commentary on what the report’s results mean for the sector by leaders from organisations including The Clothworkers Foundation, NCVO, Datakind UK and more
