BU Research Blog

The BU PIER Partnership have joined forces with Community Action Network Dorset (CAN), The HealthBus Trust and the Lantern Trust to deliver a series of webinars and workshops to build capacity in the voluntary and community sector (VCS) to actively collaborate in shaping, designing and undertaking health, social care and community research. The series is funded by NHS England as part of the Dorset Research Engagement Network funding where PIER have been co-designing with community partners methods and approaches for collaborating with marginalised groups who are currently under-served by research, by drawing on the expertise of VCS partners who are embedded in these communities.
