Viz for Social Good helps mission-driven organisations to promote social good and understand their own data through beautiful and informative data visualisation.

• This is a great opportunity to share your passion, learn new tools (Tableau, PowerBi..), network and gain some fame.
• We welcome beginners and experts alike.

Who is Sunny Street?

Sunny Street is changing the world by providing heartfelt healthcare to our community’s most vulnerable people. We need to be able to clearly articulate our social impact to our stakeholders, collaborators and potential sponsors and funding sources. We know that our outreach clinics benefit the lives of our patients, volunteers and the broader community through our authentic conversation-based model of care. Sunny Street needs powerful visual data representation that captures the multi-faceted benefits of these therapeutic relationships from the dedicated time and generosity of our volunteers.
