The problem

The data you need exists. You just can't see it.

Every community organisation is generating valuable data about the people they serve. But it's fragmented, inconsistent, and invisible to the people who need it most.

Fragmented data

Each organisation uses its own spreadsheets, its own formats, its own definitions. Comparing or combining it is virtually impossible.

Reporting burden

Annual reporting requests consume significant officer time at both the council and the organisation. The data arrives late, incomplete, and often inconsistent.

Incomplete picture

By the time data is compiled, aggregated, and analysed, it's 12 months out of date. Commissioning decisions are made on yesterday's picture of today's need.

The solution

Consistent data, generated automatically

When every organisation uses the same platform with the same data definitions, the regional picture emerges automatically — with no additional burden on anyone.

Consistent definitions

Every network member records data in the same format. "Sessions delivered" means the same thing across every organisation. Aggregation becomes trivial.

Real-time, not annual

Data is generated as organisations operate day-to-day. The regional picture updates continuously — not once a year when grant returns land.

Zero additional burden

Organisations don't do anything extra to contribute to regional insight. The data is a by-product of them using their operational tools.

The data

What the network intelligence shows

Across all network member organisations, anonymised and aggregated, the platform generates a consistent set of regional KPIs.

Sessions delivered — by organisation, location, and service type
People helped — unique individuals, frequency of contact, demographics
Presenting needs — what people are coming for, what's resolved, what's referred
Trends — demand patterns, seasonal variation, emerging needs
Geographic distribution — need by area, capacity gaps, underserved locations
Food poverty indicators — household visit frequency, spend, demographic breakdown
Unmet demand — waitlists, referrals to external services, capacity constraints

Live production data from Bridlington

foodConnect has been live at the Breadshed, New Pasture Lane Community Centre, since February 2025. Food pantry and food bank modes both contribute to the regional dataset. The numbers speak for themselves.

For commissioning councils

Evidence-based commissioning decisions

Understanding capacity versus demand across your area — in real time — changes what you can do when planning community services and allocating resources.

  • Identify gaps in provision — areas with high need and low coverage
  • Understand seasonal demand patterns before they become crises
  • Track the impact of commissioned services continuously
  • Demonstrate VCSE sector value to internal stakeholders
  • Support Integrated Care Board social prescribing strategies

We're inviting councils and funding partners to explore what CrisisConnect Network can offer. Contact us to arrange a briefing.
