Parish Online Mapping

Supercharging Placemaking with reliable and accurate data

We know that running a VCFSE organisation requires the mastering of lots of skills.

Understanding and using data effectively is one of them, but when you’re short on time and resources its hard to know where to start.

That’s where mapping comes in. Mapping lets you explore data about the area you work in and provides a great way to visualise the relationship between assets, resources, and places.

Open Source data on themes such as crime, housing, employment, the economy, population and services can be employed to produce specific profiles.

Population Data Service

The Parish Online platform provides data on a number of themes utilising open-source data from a wide range of government sources.

Customer Reports

We can help you to generate reports for specific themes and areas of interest.

Customisable Maps

You can select which indicators to make available on the map and arrange them in themes that best suit your requirements or organisation.

Yes! the mapping solution is provided as part of the All About The Place insights platform.

I’ve always been impressed by the Parish Online mapping solution — it’s an incredibly powerful tool for placemaking. Whether it's identifying areas of greatest need, supporting funding applications with robust local evidence, or helping community organisations target their services more effectively, it offers a level of clarity and context that’s hard to match. It turns complex data into actionable insight, and that’s exactly what our placemaking needs.

Use for funding applications and strategic planning

A bit stuck?

Increasingly, funders want to know the data that helps to tell the story of place, and in turn, why your project is needed. Using a mapping tool can help improve your success in funding applications.

And, what’s more, it can help you plan more strategically so that you know you’re doing great things, where they are most needed.

We’ll be developing user guides and sharing examples of how placemaking have used Parish Online over the coming months.
