🥳 EXCEED is heading to Leicester Caribbean Carnival! Join us on Saturday 1st August at Victoria Park, Leicester from 11am–4.30pm. Come say hello, learn more about the EXCEED study, ask the team any questions and grab some goodies. See you there!
EXCEED was proud to join the Patient & Public Involvement Celebration at St Martin’s House, recognising contributors who shape health research through focus groups, workshops and more. Thank you for your time and expertise, as together we’re building research led by those it serves.
EXCEED was proudly represented by the NIHR Research Delivery Network at the Peepul Centre mela on Sunday. The mela had an amazing turnout and vibrant community spirit throughout. Huge thanks to the RDN team and everyone involved for making it such a memorable event!
⭐ Spotted in Leicester ⭐ Our posters are now brightening up parks across Leicester. Next time you're out enjoying the sunshine (should it ever return), take a moment to check them out! You can learn more about our study via our website: exceed.org.uk
