Our Approach
People: Real people are at the heart of our work. We have developed an agile community development approach which supports fast-paced decision making whilst investing in community. We believe multiple perspectives enrich your projects and teams.
Agility: Smart solutions are at the core of all that we do at People Street. Our goal is to find smart ways of embedding Equity, Diversity and Inclusion to create services, pathways, products and organisations that will help build a better tomorrow for everyone, everywhere.
Collaboration: Cooperation is a core value underpinning our approach. We believe collaboration enriches the health and social care ecosystem. We share ideas, resources and knowledge with our partners.
If you are a service designer, charity leader, researcher or commissioner who wants to fulfil your business objectives whilst adhering to your EDI objectives, send us an email and we will design a bespoke plan for your local, regional or national project.

Our Story
We’re a multidisciplinary team with ground-breaking ideas designed to contribute towards a better tomorrow.
We’ve been collaborating for more than 10 years iterating and finessing our approach. At the height of the pandemic our Chief Exec Shabira Papain was approached by NHSX and we stood up an inclusive design research pilot, incubating and testing our approach under fierce pressure within NHSX.
During the pilot we collaborated with GDS, NHS Digital, NHSE/I and Tower Hamlets CCG colleagues to bring underrepresented voices into user-led design research as a direct response to perpetuating inequalities and digital exclusion.
We have continued to grow and in the past year, we have shared our practice with a range of organisations including the Home Office, NHS England, DWP and London Borough Newham.
We are passionate, collaborative and creative. We seek partners who are equally excited about what they do, are thoughtful about what they are putting into the world and are ambitious about impact.

"Diversity and inclusion are the real grounds for creativity, which must remain at the centre of what we do"

"We need to stop our myopic focus on where people are struggling and instead invest in the initiatives people are taking to get ahead."
