Who We Are
Connecting Care is a collective of facilitators, designers, researchers, and storytellers who are passionate about reimagining care through creativity, collaboration, and community engagement. Together, we bring a diverse mix of skills, from service design and data analysis to artistic representation and participatory research. Our shared goal is to explore how care is experienced, expressed, and understood across London - using innovative methods that centre the voices of those involved in everyday acts of care.
