Who we are
We give those who use and deliver health and social care a voice to influence positive change in services, nationally and locally.
Evolving Communities is an independent Community Interest Company. We specialise in patient, public and stakeholder engagement and insight to help health and social care providers develop and improve services.
We are committed to giving those who use and deliver services a voice to influence positive change in health and social care. We achieve this at a national, regional and local level through the independent Healthwatch services we deliver on behalf of local authorities, the community engagement partnerships we manage and support, and our consultancy projects.

What we do
We connect health and social care providers with those they care for and with the people and partners who deliver care.
We build relationships and develop understanding of people’s health and care needs and experiences. We use this insight to identify and present impactful, evidence-based solutions for positive changes to health and social care services. We combine professional and sector experience and expertise, with a human touch and collaborative approach.
