CommonHealth Assets

Over a planned three-year period, this multi-site, multi-method project is working with 15 CLOs based in Scotland, England and Northern Ireland. A range of creative, innovative, and participatory research methods are being used to explore the research questions. Detailed information on the research project, methods, resources, partners and team members can be found on the CommonHealth Assets website. 

Lived Experience Panel 

To ensure that the research project is informed by ongoing community expertise, voice, and perspective, a Lived Experience Panel has been established. This Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) aspect of the project is led by GCPH. 

Engaging and working with people in the communities that the research is taking place in is crucial to improve our understanding of the real-world contexts that impact how community organisations deliver their activities, support community members, and improve the health and wellbeing of the individuals who engage with them.

Composed of participants from the CLOs across the UK, members of the Panel meet at key stages of the project and have roles in shaping the research and study design, participating in activity relevant to the project phases and methods, and informing the interpretation of findings to ensure they are relevant and meaningful to community organisations.
