Disabled people leading research

We asked colleagues at Inclusion Gloucestershire to talk about why research is important to them, their experiences as a researcher and participant, and the wider benefits of research.

We would love more people to get involved in research and have their voice heard. For more information about how to get involved in research please get in touch with our research team at research@inclusion-glos.org.
