Funding opportunity for local community groups in Leicestershire

Grassroots community groups across Leicestershire are being invited to take part in an exciting opportunity to shape local research and improve health and wellbeing in their area.

Evaluation workshop to reflect, learn and strengthen the HDRC team

The HDRC Leicestershire team met in mid-January for an evaluation workshop, hosted by Rose Harvey - our external evaluation partner for the duration of our funding period, helping us reflect, learn and increase impact.

Young Voices workshops

We held workshops across Leicestershire schools to hear about young people's priorities within their local areas to support community health and wellbeing.

HDRC Leicestershire Research to Reality training series

The HDRC Leicestershire Research to Reality training series concluded a successful year in September with 94 attendees across the four-session series.

Our Public Advisory Group is complete

We have filled the final spot on our Public Advisory Group (PAG), forming a diverse panel of eight members. This is an important step towards ensuring our work is informed by a broad range of public voices and lived experiences.

Leicestershire schools to shape the future of health research

Young people in three Leicestershire schools will have the opportunity to have their say in the future of health research and meet a Great British Bake Off star as part of a new project.
