Real story of 3rd sector in last yr has been extent to which activities have been stopped, diminished, delayed. Headlines re swathes of charities at risk of closing have distracted frm u'standing huge impact of this. Useful data here from OSCR: oscr.org.uk/blog/2021/marc…

Lots of detail to dig into about the immediate impact of the pandemic on charities in Scotland and emerging issues. Important work from OSCR and great to see how many orgs took the time to respond.

📢 How is #Covid19 continuing to impact #SocialEnterprise? Our new State of the Sector report offers analysis and commentary on the challenges #SocEnts are still facing. Read the report now → socialenterprise.scot/state-of-the-s… With thanks to OSCR Scot Gov Fairer Fraser of Allander Institute!

I've written a blog about the potential of charity data collected by OSCR and some of the amazing ways it is already used. There's also a link for a new (slightly experimental) charts tool to explore the data in different ways. Try it here oscr.org.uk/charity-data/?…

Incredible #DataViz of charities. Lots to explore and a great way to show the huge role charities play in so many aspects of our lives
