Who do we work with?
Change is not something that can be achieved by one organisation alone: we work in partnership with a range of organisations large and small.
We’re very lucky to work with some great organisations and inspiring people.
Some organisations commission us to do bespoke work for them; others we have a contract with; whilst others we work with because we believe in what they are trying to achieve and know that we can make a difference together.
National Trust
The National Trust enlisted our help to understand how people with disabilities accessed Scotney Castle.
They wanted to hear about people's experiences and what they could do to make it easier for people to visit and enjoy.
Office for Health Improvements & Disparities
Evidence shows that the numbers of people within certain communities who are not getting their blood pressure checked are alarmingly high.
We’re currently working on a pilot in Folkestone, Gravesend & Gillingham alongside the British Heart Foundation.
“We’ve worked together to reach people who wouldn’t normally go to their GP to get their blood pressure checked. EK360 are building capacity within communities and voluntary organisations, offering people the opportunity to get their blood pressure checked in locations that are easy and familiar to them. We’re looking ahead to the next phase of our work together to help even more people.”
Carers First
"We drew on their expertise to enable us to engage and listen to carers from across the UK in a short space of time. In just a few short weeks they helped us to reach 1,200 carers and analyse everything that they told them. Their findings and accompanying case studies that illustrated the real issues carers are facing, has shaped the support we’re offering through our national campaign."

Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells
When Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust needed to explore options for the future of their Cardiology service, they came to us to enable them to hear the thoughts and ideas of the public.
We reached people from particular communities who often don't get their voices heard as much as others including people who live in areas of deprivation, people with disabilities and people from the LQBTQIA+ community.
East Kent Hospitals
Our expertise in facilitation and co-production enabled us to lead the creation of a new involvement strategy and staff team at East Kent Hospitals.
"We brought EK360 in to help us create both a strategy and a model, that would enable us to hear from our patients and our communities, and act on their feedback to generate positive change."
Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust
We designed and created a new and sustainable model to enable Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust to hear feedback from their patients and use it to generate positive change. Delivered during the Covid pandemic, the model needed to adapt to enable the Trust to engage with their patients virtually.
Kent County Council
We hold the contract for the award winning Healthwatch Kent and have done since 2012. Listening and engaging with people and communities from every corner of Kent, we’ve been able to make sure their views and experiences are heard by decision makers and influence services as a result. The Kent wheelchair service is just one example of a service that has improved as a result of our involvement. Learn more
Public Health Kent
We created two innovative films showcasing how Covid impacted peoples lives and how their experience changed as the pandemic progressed.
The raw and emotional insights were used to inform the Council how best to support peoples’ mental health and isolation.
Kent & Medway Mental Health Trust
Commissioned to undertake an independent review of the Trust’s service user groups, we listened to 74 people including patients, professionals and carers about how the current structure works.
Reflecting on what we heard and the gaps we identified, we designed a new model to enable the Trust to hear from all voices to improve services.
Kent & Medway Cancer Alliance
"EK360 helped us to understand the barriers that some communities face around endoscopies. The feedback they gathered gave a rich insight into how we could resolve some of the issues. Plus they delivered the project a month early!"
