Marie Curie
Details
Background
Marie Curie, an end-of-life charity, faced significant challenges during the Covid-19 crisis, impacting their hospice and community nursing services, staff availability, shop operations, and fundraising efforts. They needed a clear understanding of how the pandemic would affect all aspects of their organisation.
Solution
Partnering with More Metrics and Sagacity Solutions Group, Marie Curie gained access to data models based on open-source UK population data to assess the pandemic's impact. This data, provided free of charge, was used to create interactive Power BI maps at various geographic levels, supporting organisation-wide decision-making.
Results
The data-driven insights enabled Marie Curie to assess risk effectively and plan future activities, including service delivery and fundraising. These resources are actively used by their caring services teams and the Covid Response Team to guide strategic decisions.
