More information

The Institute of Health and Wellbeing at the University of Glasgow carries out research to improve population health and wellbeing and reduce health inequalities. They are planning to have a community resource hub in their new building in the West End of the city, scheduled to open by mid 2022.

An important feature of the new building will be a community resource hub, which could provide a range of useful facilities for communities in Glasgow. The Institute is also considering how to develop its outreach work in the city. 

They wish to ensure that the Institute (and particularly the community resource hub) is responsive to the needs of all the communities that they engage with as well as the users of their research. They are particularly interested in developing how they engage with communities with protected characteristics* and who are impacted on by inequality. 

To help them do this they want the views and ideas of communities across Glasgow as to how the resource hub should be developed and how communities can get support from the Institute for their own health and wellbeing activities. We are working with the Institute to find out from communities their ideas and views about the development of the hub.

The focus group follows on from a survey that was conducted in summer 2021.
