📣 Get Involved in Research That Reflects Your Community!

The next 8 Tuesdays from 5 - 7pm, we’re inviting community groups across the North West to take part in an exciting Research Engagement Programme — designed especially for people who don’t usually get the chance to participate in research.

work focuses on community engagement and capacity building, helping groups:
✅ Understand what research is and how it works
✅ Share their views on what research should focus on
✅ Identify barriers to participation — and solutions
✅ Gain the skills and confidence to lead their own research

We’ve worked with a diverse range of groups including:
• Parents in recovery
• People experiencing homelessness
• The Deaf community
• Community Roots
• Lancashire Positive Minds
• The King’s Trust

This interactive workshop provides a friendly introduction to research, using real-life examples that are relevant to your community.

💬 A key part of the programme is listening to you — what matters to your community, what needs researching, and how research can be made more inclusive and accessible. We share your feedback directly with research funders to help shape future projects.

🌱 We also provide ongoing support and signposting for groups who want to carry out their own research.
So far:
• 3 participants have trained as peer facilitators
• 2 have successfully secured funding to run their own research projects

If you’re part of a community group that wants your voice heard and your experiences represented in research, we’d love to work with you.

Research should include everyone — and that includes you.

Here’s a glimpse into this week in the life of the Hope Street CEO…

Operations management ✔️
Interviewer ✔️
Employer ✔️
Bid writer & impact reporter ✔️
Staff management ✔️
Podcast guest ✔️
Chef & pot washer ✔️
Activities coordinator ✔️

Supporting our community through mental health challenges, dementia, homelessness and bereavement 🤝

Running a community organisation isn’t one job — it’s twenty. It’s strategy and soup-making. Policies and people. Spreadsheets and shoulder-to-cry-on moments.

But every role serves one purpose: making Hope Street a place where people feel seen, supported and valued.

It’s busy. It’s messy. It’s meaningful. And I wouldn’t change it. 💜
