CONSULTATION

Find out what people really think

Creating things communities want starts by actually asking them. And asking in the right way. What you get in return are valuable insights you can use, put into practice and build upon to make your project succeed.

Why Things Made Public?

You want to know what people say when you’re not there

If you approach people the right way, they’re happy to share what they actually think and care about. This means you have reliable, valuable feedback on any ideas and evidence for new ones. 

You want to hear from everyone

No one voice is more important than another, but some can be harder to reach.  We amplify all voices using a wide range of consultation methods, including activities in the public realm, 1-2-1 stakeholder interviews, general public surveys and tailored workshops.

You want to build a strong case

By going above and beyond with a consultation, you get stronger evidence for planning applications, funding proposals or strategies. Our creative approach will also give you rich images, quotes and insights you can use to tell an engaging story.  

You want to build trust

Acting as a neutral party means that we can facilitate better conversations, helping build trust on both sides. We take great pains to be transparent with everyone and keep the feedback loop going. 

Things Made Public knows how to engage and interact with young people. Their workshops are fun and practical. Our collaboration with them has been a huge success and the young people from the City Youth Forum love working with Things Made Public. Sarah and Lauren are extremely easy to work with, very professional and accommodating. I am always looking forward to collaborating with Things Made Public!
