Building a better tomorrow for everyone, everywhere
We’re People Street, and we’re disrupting the civic engagement landscape with our evidence-based approach.
We unite the bottom-up, real world experiences and wisdom of communities with innovative service designers, researchers, commissioners and decision makers ambitious about impact in their patch!
People Street makes inclusive research possible.
We are campaigners of Design Justice, we have the tools, know-how and expertise to help you reach the communities least likely to take part in research conversations.
Underpinning our work is community development. To ensure we are always reaching the edges, the excluded, the racialised and under-heard, we run community projects which builds trust, resilience and agency.
This is the heartbeat of People Street.
Inclusive Recruitment
Inclusive Research
Grassroots projects
We don't reach the usual suspects, we reach the voices who experience multiple barriers to access, particularly people who have never taken part in research discussions. We recruit seldom heard and excluded communities to take part in user research and usability testing.
We have a team of experienced Community Researchers who are representative of the communities you serve. We run research challenges in mother tongue to gather insights to support you at any stage of your project. We also run face-to-face usability testing challenges in community settings, offering a wrap-around service that safeguards participants and researchers.
We design, deliver and evaluate community-led programmes aimed at building the capacity of individuals, families and communities to take more control of their health. We focus on themes and issues that perpetuate health inequalities. We work alongside the communities at risk of the poorest outcomes. We capture insights and work with the community to sense-make. The analysis feeds into community driven recommendations which we share with commissioners, policy makers and partners. In 2025 we are launching the Centre for Self-Health which will act as a springboard to share these insights strategically.
There may be no better way to communicate what we do than through images. As you browse our site, take a few moments to let your eyes linger here, and see if you can get a feel for our signature touch.
