OneDay is Where it Starts.

FLAGSHIP PROGRAMME

OneDay connects the insight industry with charities and non-profits that need expertise, so good intentions become greater impact.

WHY ONEDAY?

With a full-​time career spanning 2,000 work weeks, the way we spend ​our time is one of the most impactful choices we can make.

Are you leveraging your skills for meaningful change? Or ​does your daily grind leave the world unchanged?

If you want to shape your own path as an insights professional and ​transform your efforts into real-world impact, OneDay is ​your gateway. Our mission is to help you dedicate your ​research talent to the great challenges of our time.

WHAT YOU CAN GIVE

Give OneDay(s) and support charities and NGOs through...

Every OneDay project is built around one of three ways the insights community can help a charity move forward.

  • Training

    Run a focused session that builds a new skill — from Excel and data analysis to survey design or a compelling presentation.

  • Workshops

    Facilitate a collaborative day that helps a charity team solve a problem, shape a strategy, or plan a campaign.

  • Ad Hoc Research

    Answer a specific insight question: design a survey, test content, analyse data, or deliver a quick evidence-backed recommendation.
