This project brings together a multidisciplinary team of researchers, designers, and community partners working at the intersection of health research and participatory design. It is jointly led by Dr Alison Thomson (Queen Mary University of London), a design-led researcher specialising in co-design, and Dr Amanda Moore (University College London), whose work focuses on culturally responsive health interventions.

They are joined by design researcher Dr Sarah Pennington (Goldsmiths, University of London) and community partners including Dr Shola Oladipo (Food for Purpose CIC) and Ceri Durham (Social Action for Health), who brings extensive experience in participatory research and community-led health initiatives.

Together, the team combines expertise in co-design, community engagement, and health intervention development. Working in partnership with Black African, Caribbean, and South Asian communities, the project focuses on developing inclusive co-design tools and strengthening collaborative design practices.
