How the public is shaping the programme
Members of the public, including our volunteers, are represented at multiple levels within our programme, from our governance to regular focus groups.
At every level, we’re committed to ensuring that the voices of people from a wide range of backgrounds are represented. This includes:
- Minority ethnic groups
- UK regions & devolved nations
- People with low incomes/resources

Involvement Network
Our Involvement Network contributes to the ongoing design and delivery of our research programme and activities. Members of the Involvement Network include Our Future Health volunteers and members of the public. They support our teams through providing insights, opinions, and perspectives on various aspects of our work.
Members of the Involvement Network can take part in activities as individuals, such as interviews or questionnaires, or as part of a group that is convened for any specific activity, such as a workshop or a focus group, as and when the opportunities arise.
For more information about the Involvement Network, please contact info@ourfuturehealth.org.uk.
