Whether you’re holding a brilliant event in London Challenge Poverty Week this year, sharing a video you’ve already created or have some facts or reports that show how you’re helping people combat the worst effects of poverty, you’ll have some brilliant content you can share with your audiences.
But have you asked yourself how you can make the most of the content you create?
Re-using existing content and presenting it in a new format can help you plan the information you need to gather, keep you focused on your goal and reach new people.
‘Repurposing’ your content also help you reinforce your message, as the more times people hear it the more likely they are to respond.

Creating and exploring Census 2021 custom datasets – September
26th September 2023, 2:00 pm – 3:15 pm
Online- Free
Join this practical 60 minute session online in Zoom to learn how to select, download and analyse Census 2021 data.
We will first demo how to use the Office for National Statistics (ONS) ‘create a custom dataset’ tool and then support you as you create and download your own.
This might include e.g. age, ethnic group and / or language spoken alongside health, disability or hours of unpaid care. You might alternatively be interested in housing, education or employment data alongside specific demographics, and focussing on London, a specific borough or smaller geography. The choice is yours!
We will then show you how to analyse your downloaded Excel spreadsheet – creating a simple pivot table and chart to visualise the data and answer the questions you may have been exploring, with time for you to do this yourselves with the Superhigways team on hand to help.
Follow up one to one support will also be provided.

You’ll get some ideas that can be quickly and easily adapted by your organisation throughout the week. You’ll also learn or practice using free digital tools such as Canva or Adobe Express that can help you shape and share stories from your work.
