he research and work of the Healthy Families theme?, focussing on ensuring the best start to life, is advised by the Shaping Family Wellbeing Group (Hull and East Riding). The group includes 15 mums/co-mums/partners and 8 dads/grandads living in the Hull area with a child aged under 3. We meet regularly at a family hub with 2 family support workers. We aim to coproduce community driven research projects suggested by the group, and consult the group about new and existing research across the YH ARC, to make projects more accessible, inclusive and relevant to parents and carers.
