Co-Production & Creative Research
​
​​
​
When you try to involve people in co-production, it’s often the “usual voices” who respond, not the ones living with the greatest barriers. That means the people you most need to hear from are left out of shaping the very services that affect them.
​
At Think Big Do Bigger CIC, we help you change that. Our outreach-led co-production model takes us directly into the spaces where people already are such as community hubs, hostels, recovery groups and food banks, so you can hear from those who are too often excluded.
​
This isn’t token consultation. It’s a practical, proven way to ensure your work reflects the real experiences of seldom-heard communities, helping you design services that are more relevant, inclusive, and effective.
​
With us, you will:
-
Reach excluded voices – we work with people facing homelessness, recovery, trauma, poverty, and social isolation.
-
Break down barriers – our outreach-first model means people don’t have to come to you; we meet them where they are.
-
Rely on structure and safety – our methods are trauma-informed, ethical, and accessible.
-
Turn insight into action – we don’t just gather stories; we help you translate voices into meaningful change.
-
Get a tailored approach – every project is bespoke to your service, your goals, and your communities.

Why Choose Us​?
What We Offer
1
Outreach Co-Production
You’ll be able to engage with the people you most need to hear from, not just the “usual voices.” We go into the spaces your communities already use and create safe opportunities for them to share experiences, ideas, and solutions. This gives you authentic insights that reflect real lives, not just boardroom conversations.
2
Creative Research Methods
You’ll gain access to innovative ways of gathering feedback and ideas. Through tools like storytelling, visual prompts, and poetry exercises, we help people express views that traditional surveys or focus groups can’t capture. These creative methods break down barriers and give you richer, deeper understanding of the communities you serve.
3
Service Development & Evidence
You’ll walk away with more than just conversations. Every project delivers clear, practical outputs, from recommendations for service improvement to creative pieces that bring community voices to life. This evidence strengthens your decision-making, demonstrates impact to funders, and ensures your services are shaped by the people they exist for.
