What's In It For Partners
Everyday economy intelligence — collected daily, acted on today
Data and insights partners can work with Voice For Locals across three report types — Benefits Tracker for Local Economic Growth, STREET Feed for Everyday Economics, and Trading Standard Reports — designed to capture everyday economy intelligence every day in real time.
Data & Insights
Why partner with Voice For Locals?
Traditional economic data often arrives months late, when policy can only react. Voice For Locals is designed to place data collection points in communities nationwide so everyday economy reports can flow in continuously from shoppers, micro-enterprises and hard-to-reach residents. Policy makers could see confidence, cost-of-living pressure, cashflow, employment and early-warning signals as they happen — enabling proactive interventions instead of waiting three months for lagging official statistics. STREET stands for Smart Tracking of Realtime Everyday Economic Trends. Trading Standards and consumer-protection partners can use fraud alerts to surface illegal businesses and protect legitimate traders, while intelligence teams customise surveys and reports for their region.
Data, intelligence & enforcement partners
Partnership Value
What you gain as a partner
Three report types available to Data & Insights partners — scoped from national to postcode level, filterable and exportable as PDF.
Benefits Tracker for Local Economic Growth
Tracks whether local economic interventions are working — from jobs and business survival to rewards circulation and regeneration outcomes. Designed to show baseline vs target progress over time, scoped from national view down to postcode, so policy teams can see whether local growth strategies are delivering before lagging official data catches up.
STREET Feed for Everyday Economics
STREET — Smart Tracking of Realtime Everyday Economic Trends — is designed to capture how the everyday economy is behaving day by day: confidence, cost pressures, spending, cashflow, employment and early-warning signals. Built for partners who need everyday economics intelligence in a ready-to-view dashboard, not a quarterly retrospective.
Trading Standard Reports
Supports Trading Standards and consumer-protection partners with intelligence on suspicious operators, fraud patterns and illegal trading activity. Designed to help enforcement teams act on alerts, protect legitimate local businesses and share referral-ready reports scoped to their region.
Everyday Economy Intelligence
How are we different?
Most policy teams still rely on datasets that are published weeks or months after the fact. By the time a downturn shows up in lagging statistics, businesses have already closed and jobs have already gone. Voice For Locals is built for the everyday economy — the spending, trading and community activity that happens outside big corporate supply chains.
Proactive, not reactive
Everyday economics reports designed to be collected daily in real time — so partners can intervene while it still matters, instead of discovering problems three months later when official data finally lands.
Collection points nationwide
Built for a distributed network of data collection points across the country — capturing local signals from town centres, neighbourhoods and rural communities.
From signal to dashboard
Intelligence designed to flow into ready-to-view dashboards — Benefits Tracker, STREET Feed and Trading Standard Reports without a six-month analytics project.
Voice For Locals Data
Benefits of our everyday economy data

Diverse coverage
Structured for geographically and demographically diverse reporting that reflects how the everyday economy works on the ground.
Ready-to-view dashboard
No waiting for analysts to build slides — open the dashboard and see everyday economy indicators, trends and alerts immediately.
Customisable surveys
