Guide Dogs is no different to other charities in needing to make better use of its donor data. But it also provides the service for which it mainly raises funds in the first place: dogs guiding blind or visually impaired humans.
Gerry McGovern, CIO of Guide Dogs, has been mapping out a data strategy in consultation with Caroline Carruthers, former chief data officer at Network Rail, now a consultant and CEO, Carruthers and Jackson. McGovern wants to move the charity from an individual view and practice of data management and analytics to an organisational one.

Advocating for senior citizens in an aging world
More than 500 million people aged 65 and above over half the age group currently live in cities, with the majority living in low- and middle-income countries.
[2] This rapidly aging urban population requires an understanding of the factors that affect older people in the cities where they live. Also, as cities may further marginalize those already excluded from spaces, services, and society in older age, the demand for relevant data and evidence that would hold stakeholders accountable in delivering improvements that benefit older people and the broader communities is increasing.

New analysis by ActionAid International and The Robin Hood Tax Campaign
ActionAid International and The Robin Hood Tax Campaign are today (12 December) calling on G7 countries to make good on their commitment – enshrined in Article 8 of the Paris Agreement – to provide finance to support the world’s poorest countries to recover from the damage caused by the climate crisis.
The organisations argue that G7 countries can make significant strides in funding to tackle loss and damage by accelerating reductions in fossil fuel subsidies and redirecting support from polluting industries into a new ‘Climate Damages Fund’.
The new analysis comes as the UN and UK co-host today’s online Climate Ambition Summit on the fifth anniversary of the Paris Agreement.
