Our vision
To improve the health and well-being of current and future generations through partnership between researchers and volunteers. Our mission
Create a large study reflecting the lives of people in Scotland, following individuals and their families from childhood to old age. We will support partnerships between our volunteers and researchers on pressing issues of health and well-being. We w
ill combine responses to questionnaires and detailed historic NHS records with innovative laboratory science and data analytics. We will do this in the safest and most secure way possible. We will support open science combined with public engagement and consultation, sharing our findings to influence health policy and improve lives. Our volunteers
Generation Scotland has been recruiting volunteers since 2006. Over 24,000 people have already joined from around 7,000 families. We are inviting new families and family members aged 12 and older to join. We aim to double the number of Generation Scotland volunteers between now and 2024. Our volunteers have helped support research into COVID-19, cancer, diabetes, depression, dementia and much more.
