Support Marathon Kids UK – Track to the future!

Project Summary

Working with the Head of Operations, discuss and agree the most useful analyses and produce an automated reporting tool.

Project description

Marathon Kids UK organises runs both in schools and in parks. It has a bespoke system for automatic data recording but currently this necessitates manual copying and pasting into a spreadsheet. The organisation wants to consider what reporting will be most useful and automate this.

It is anticipated that the volunteer will:

• Discuss with the Managing Director, the Head of Operations and other stakeholders what statistics and reports would be most useful;
• Develop standard statistics and reports and discuss these;
• Develop an automated reporting tool that will take information from the database and produce statistics and reports in the agreed formats;
• Provide a user guide so that the Head of Operations can produce reports as required.

Skills required: the volunteer should have skills in programming, either VBA or R. Some experience of impact measurement and reporting would be useful.

Location

The work can be done remotely. A visit to the office in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, could be useful.
