Starlight testimonial: Burning Suit

Having long worked in this sector, with competing priorities and limited funds...

I know it can be hard for most small to medium sized charities to find the resource, skill and capacity to generate meaningful insights about their work and the impact this has which isn’t at the expense of the wider charitable work. 

As the Head of Insight and Impact in a small charity, it can be a continuous challenge to balance our large aspirations with the size and capacity of our team and resourcing to do our work and we are always looking for opportunities to partner up with different organisations who can support us with gift in kind.

Being able to use tools such as PowerBI and DAX helps to maximise our data analysis/visualisation, and it enables us to generate meaningful insights more effectively about our charity’s reach, performance and impact. It will enable us to deliver more effective, efficient and impactful services to children in hospital and create better experiences in hospital and outcomes for those children. It will also allow us to visualise and showcase that impact and those outcomes more effectively. 

This is where Burning Suit comes in. Burning Suit has trained key members of Starlight staff who are working in data, research and insights, to use PowerBI and DAX. This has helped us as an organisation to better understand our data and the trends in our service delivery and fundraising activities. We are able to link different datasets and create dashboards to help staff understand our performance, reach and impact, and where best to target our resources. We wouldn’t have been able to do this without the support of Burning Suit.

Their training is thorough. It is engaging and accessible even for the least computer savvy, and their aftercare and support is exceptional. We had the opportunity to train alongside professionals from big and small companies which enabled us to learn what else is possible for us to do with our data. We are very grateful to Alan and the team, to have had this opportunity to train with Burning Suit. We have strengthened the skills and expertise of our team. We couldn’t recommend Burning Suit enough.
