2020 Charity Digital Skills Report

Digital survey which was already underway, but added Coronavirus /COVIS-19 related questions. 41 responses were submitted since recently adding the Coronavirus questions but they hope to reach more.

Interim findings at April 30 From the 41 charities completing the survey so far we heard that : 37% have cancelled services because they don’t have the skills or tech to deliver them 39% want additional funding to explore how to adapt services in an online setting 34% want additional funding to buy essential tech and hardware 50% want guidance on what works with digitising face to face services 50% want guidance on helping the team adjust to change and stay motivated and productive

The most surprising issue is the number of charities who have cancelled services because they personally lack the skills or technology to deliver them.
