Other ways to get involved
Promoting Research in our community
Help us to promote research amount your local communities. We go out and about at local events to raise the profile of research but the more that people hear about the work we do and share this amongst your own communities the quicker word will spread. Together we can improve the health and wellbeing of our communities across the Borough.
