London Borough of Barking & Dagenham

We built a Social Progress Index for the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham to identify trends and issues such as domestic violence, fuel poverty, and more and create a plan of action that improved the community's wellbeing.

From Data to Impact: Solution

Using the Social Progress Index and other data sources, the borough identified the families with food insecurity and at risk of homelessness and created the "Community Food Club." In the first six months, the initiative helped prevent 50 families from becoming homeless. The program's success led to expansion into two other neighborhoods.

"For over 6 years I have used the Social Progress Index to drive and improve outcomes in our communities alongside many colleagues and partners at the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham. In Barking & Dagenham we successfully improved outcomes in all 17 wards over a 6 year period. I'm excited to lead Impera and scale data-driven solutions and impact across the country."
