Deprivation Lens Case Studies

Impact Measurement helps organisations show the social value of the money they spend. Deprivation Lens is a new map that shows how much of a buyer's supplier spend reaches the most deprived communities in the UK.

Deprivation Lens is an open demo: anyone can use it, with no login. Before it went public, wildesoft.net checked the site and the two services behind it for security weaknesses and fixed what mattered.

Buyers want to know more than where their suppliers are. They also want a sense of what their spending creates. The Total Indicative Impact box in Deprivation Lens turns a supplier list into indicative jobs and wealth, for the whole UK and for the most deprived areas.

People think in towns and postcodes, not in council boundaries. wildesoft.net built a search that lets Deprivation Lens users find any town in the UK and see straight away which areas it sits in.

Deprivation Lens needs reliable facts about every part of the UK, from whole countries down to single council wards. wildesoft.net built a set of official boundaries and area figures that cover all four nations and agree with the published statistics.
