  • "I believe the process you have utilised to co-produce and co-design the obesity pamphlet is transformative in your working with doctors and lived experience experts, in this case marginalised racialised women who have experienced barriers to accessing healthcare.

  • “The style of research, workshops and reports coming from the Health Council is helping us add new depths and understandings in tackling the systemic challenges we take on at Global Action Plan.”

    Head of Impact at Global Action Plan
