Give and take.
Women of Leicester finding out about health research, self-management of diabetes research and health inequalities.
And having some fun!
This group have worked with @LDC_tweets and @LeicesterBRC for 4 years now, right through a pandemic.

'Reward and Recognition' Leicester-style. There are many ways to recognise people who help with #PPI. This has been spectacularly popular in Leicester.

We're discussing health inequalities and the findings of the Embedding study!

How Leicester builds community engagement
1. Start where people are.
2. Do what people enjoy.
