Understanding people and places. Informing decisions. Shaping solutions.
Thoughtscapes is a social research consultancy specialising in qualitative methodologies and ethnographic research.
We help organisations in the private, charity and academic sectors understand the real context behind a situation, working with them to shape effective, collaborative solutions.
We believe change begins with a conversation. We consult with a broad spectrum of stakeholders – statutory service providers, local businesses, voluntary organisations, and people with lived experience – on some of the most difficult questions facing society today, including: mental health, suicide prevention, security and technology.
Our ethnographies bring together observation, in-depth interviews and fieldwork, so that the solutions we help shape are built on what’s actually happening, not assumptions.

UK-Wide Fieldwork
As comfortable in a boardroom as turning up in an unfamiliar town on a rainy Monday morning.
