Amplifying Community Voices
We are a trusted, independent charity specialising in qualitative research that amplifies community voices and drives meaningful change across health, wellbeing, and beyond.
What we do
We carry out in-depth qualitative research that helps organisations understand communities, uncover insights, and shape services that really deliver. Our work benefits residents across the North East of England and beyond, especially people facing health inequalities, poverty, or barriers to accessing support, by making their voices central to decisions that affect them.
Bespoke Research
At Involve North East we pride ourselves in getting to the heart of the issue and can create research packages to suit your needs. Making use of our extensive networks, we’ll help you identify the most suitable approach to gather the information you need. Whether it’s clearly presented data or a detailed report, we’ll deliver exactly what you ask for, on time and within budget.
Supporting Professionals
Our training is aimed at supporting healthcare professionals to engage with their service users. When it comes to setting up a Patient Participation Group and getting the best outcomes from that group, we have resources to help you every step of the way.
Our masterclasses in Patient Leadership will give you the information and techniques you need to empower your service users in becoming active participants in the design and development of services.
Healthcare Education
Supporting people to better understand and be able to access the care and support they need is at the heart of what we do. Our English for Health teaching materials are aimed at those who don’t have English as a first language, and include a growing portfolio of resources that can be shared online or face-to-face with groups, as well as acting as standalone educational tools.
Evaluation for Charities
We provide comprehensive evaluation services tailored to charities looking to demonstrate the impact of their projects to funders.
Whether you’re assessing the effectiveness of a specific initiative or gathering feedback from beneficiaries, we offer robust, independent evaluations that showcase the value of your work.
