National Voices is a non-profit coalition of health and social care charities in England, uniting more than 200 member organizations to represent the experiences of patients, service users, carers, their families, and related voluntary groups. Based in London, the organization focuses on strengthening the collective voice of people who use services and the communities they belong to, through collaboration and policy engagement that informs health and social care improvements. Positioned within the health and social care sector, it serves as a platform for organizations to connect with lived experiences across a diverse range of conditions and communities, aiming to influence policy and practice with a person-centred perspective. Founded and operating as a membership-driven entity, National Voices emphasizes listening to experiences to understand what works and what needs to change, including initiatives like publishing a Manifesto for Equitable Healthcare and launching campaigns to encourage broader sharing of care experiences. In recent developments, the organization has highlighted efforts to develop services that work for everyone and to contribute to national conversations such as the NHS 10 Year Plan, reflecting ongoing collaboration with regulators and other stakeholders.
