GIS & Mapping

In this really interesting project I helped campaigner Tom Spencer tell the story of biases in school funding due to the fundraising capacity of PTA's in more affluent areas. 

I mapped the income each PTA received in one year against the indices of multiple deprivation for each LSOA in the borough of Haringey, which clearly demonstrated Tom's point around how this fundraising exacerbates inequalities in educational opportunity. 

Check out Tom's LinkedIn post all about his project. 

Mummy's Star is a fantastic charity which supports women who get cancer in and around pregnancy. I ran the 2024 Great North Run to raise funds for the charity and was delighted to help them with a bit of mapping work to visualise the reach of a new campaign the charity had launched to raise awareness of cancer in pregnancy with health professionals. I helped them map and analyse where information packs had been sent to understand the impact and reach of the campaign. 

In November 2023 I aimed to complete the #30DayMapChallenge 

You can check out all of my maps, along with details of how I created them, and where I got the data. 

I built this Arc Online storymap for the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority and South Yorkshire Local Nature Partnership in order for them to highlight the landscape scale work partner organisations were doing around the region to restore biodiversity. This was in the lead up to work to develop a Local Nature Recovery Strategy for South Yorkshire. 

This project involved me liaising with each partner organisation to pull together the various boundary files for each project and combining these, sourcing the relevant project data, descriptions and photographs. I then built the story map, creating a range of web maps to embed, building a layout and writing the content. 

This mapping was then used by partners to identify areas for future work and to aid collaboration, particularly around farm advisory services. 

This dashboard was built for Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust using Arc Online, to help staff explore the Environment Agencies Water Framework Directive data for the rivers and water bodies in Sheffield and Rotherham. Staff can select water courses/bodies of interest in the map and bring up the full WFD data, and can see the high level figures for water quality across the area. This can also be filtered to the two local authority areas, to give high level figures for each.
