We build healthier and better connected communities through
user-centred design and intelligent community platforms.
The people, organisations and services that make a community work are already there. What's frequently missing is the thread between them. The result? Support is hard to find. Organisations work in silos. Gaps go unnoticed.
This wastes time and money, and affects people's health and wellbeing too. Help that could have made a difference remains out of reach.
We can help you join the dots.
Better connected communities start with understanding what they need, then bringing people, services and technology together to make it happen.
We design with communities, not for them, helping you understand what needs to change and turning that understanding into practical action.

How do we measure the impact of community activities on health and wellbeing? I've been building an impact measurement dashboard for Devon Connect to explore what the data can tell us about local needs, neighbourhood support and whether we're making a real difference.
We’ve added a new case study about our work with Voluntary Action Rotherham, exploring how a new community platform could help connect local people with the support, services and activities available to them.
If you'd like to find out more about how we can help, we'd love to hear from you.
