Community Research Project

Healthwatch Cambridgeshire and Healthwatch Peterborough discuss the outcomes of a two year community research capacity building project.

It highlights the significant impact of co-production and volunteer engagement. By empowering local residents to actively participate in shaping the research agenda, they were able to gain valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the community. 

The project's success was underpinned by a collaborative approach, with the key stakeholders Healthwatch Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, the North Place Integrated Neighbourhood Team, and dedicated volunteer Community Researchers. 

This collaborative spirit fostered a sense of ownership and accountability, ensuring the relevance and impact of the research findings.
