Does your organisation want to build a community that is a force for good? Our unique platform connects people with their community. Members can exchange information, skills and time with each other, find support to match their needs and collaborate on projects.
And it’s not just our technology that is unique. Our community development process brings together groups and organisations who wish to coordinate their efforts around a single platform.
We design services and systems that address social challenges.
Our design process puts the service user first – we focus on what customers need rather than what might be easiest for the service provider. We help organisations identify unmet needs and design services that make a difference to people’s lives.
Our methods include user research, community engagement, ethnography, customer journey mapping and creative communications.
We are an experienced team with backgrounds in research, strategy, design and software development.
We have worked extensively with local authorities, charities and community development organisations – helping them engage communities and design innovative solutions to challenges such as social isolation, poor housing, mental health, homelessness, frailty and unemployment.
Design Out Drowning is a community project supported by the RNLI. We were appointed to conduct research with south west communities and explore the value of a design-led approach to innovation. This is the story so far.
We are among the selected ventures supported by Transform Ageing, a first-of-its-kind initiative to change the way society approaches and designs services for people in later life.
We are delighted that Age UK Cornwall won the award for "Best use of digital by a charity" at the South West Digital awards last week.
So there you are, browsing through the Cornwall Link looking for support, services and community resources. You apply a few filters. You narrow the search. You find what you’re looking for. Or do you?
We are delighted to have been appointed by the RNLI to deliver an exciting innovation programme. ‘Design Out Drowning’ aims to find new solutions to reduce the number of people that drown in the UK and Republic of Ireland, whilst creating social value for the communities involved.
Around 40% of visits to GPs are by people who are socially isolated rather than bio-medically unwell - problems GPs are ill-equipped to address. We're responding to this challenge via our community platform.
