Disgustarous Romans at Bosworth Battlefield

On the 15th July at Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre, in the glorious sunshine, four of our young people spending the afternoon learning about Roman Britain.

Our guide was Richard who dressed the young people as Roman soldiers and taught them to march like Roman soldiers. Richard also taught them Latin words for march, charge and throw. The children made Roman chest plates out of paper in the classroom and foster carers and staff all joined in. The young people were also allowed to examine Roman artefacts such as pottery, mosaic flooring and clay objects. A great afternoon out which the children really enjoyed.

Leicestershire Matters

As technology continues to reshape how we live, work, and connect, it is opening new opportunities. From applying for jobs online to accessing essential services and support, digital tools are now central to everyday life.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
