Dear colleagues, we are delighted to share the BU PIER Partnership Annual Report 2021-22 . Every year the annual report provides us with an opportunity to look back at our achievements and impact and to share some highlights from our year. To reflect the significant level of co-production this year with students, PIER members and community organisations, this year’s report is written by people with lived experience and our partners, from their perspective. We hope you enjoy reading about PIER activity and impact and we look forward to hearing your comments. The report reflects some fantastic activity across HSS.
kind regards
Mel, Angela, Pete and Kate
