This project brings together researchers, designers, and community partners working at the intersection of health research, intervention development and participatory design. It is jointly led by Dr Alison Thomson (Queen Mary University of London), a design researcher, 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), Ceri Durham (Social Action for Health) and Mollin Delve (P.H.O.E.B.E centre), who bring extensive experience in participatory research and community-led health initiatives.
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.
