    Turn lived experience into evidence you can act on

    Good campaigning and policy influence need more than a strong argument. They need evidence that the argument is representative, current, and drawn from real experience. Thiscovery helps you gather that evidence at scale, directly from the people affected.

    See how people take part

    Evidence, not a cold email list

    A one-off poll can support a press line. A standing community of people with relevant experience, asked more than once, with a library of what you found, is what funders, media and members can trust.

    What this looks like on Thiscovery

    Surveys and panels

    Beyond a one-off poll — track how experience or need changes over time.

    Comments and discussions

    Testimony in people’s own words, moderated so the space stays safe to speak in.

    Public-facing group

    A standing community of supporters and people with relevant experience, not a list you email once.

    Feedback loops

    Show contributors what their input has been used for — important for trust and future participation.

    Evidence library

    Reports, findings and plain-language summaries, kept accessible to members, media and funders.

    Scale without losing the person

    Structured questions for the numbers; comments for the story.

    Questions people ask

    How is this different from a mailing list and a survey tool?

    The community stays. People can see the library, join the discussion, and be asked again. That is what makes the evidence current — and what makes people willing to contribute next time.

    Will comments be published with names?

    Comments are moderated. Testimony can be used in people’s own words; you choose how it is attributed. Public findings on Thiscovery are set up to be grouped and anonymised when that is what trust requires.

    Can members see what their input was used for?

    Yes. Transparent feedback loops are part of the design. That is what keeps people coming back.
