Overview of Three Hands
Three Hands is committed to amplifying the voices of individuals who have experienced challenging life circumstances to help businesses create more inclusive products and services.
Lived Experts Research Community
Our Lived Experts Research Community stands at almost 300 members, made up of individuals who have first-hand experience of difficult circumstances, whether coping with bereavement, navigating disability, leaving the care system, managing health conditions, or any other challenges life can throw at us
Lived Experts share their stories and experiences in discussions with some of the UK’s biggest businesses, helping them to understand the real-life barriers their customers face and create more inclusive, accessible products and services that work better for everyone.
We are always seeking to amplify new voices and experiences. If you want company decision-makers to hear your views and directly influence day-to-day services, we’d love to hear from you.
