Great News! We have been awarded funding from the Wellcome Centre for Cultures and Environments of Health to create a W2F steering group to discuss potential research questions for a long term study around the effectiveness of our work in addiction recovery. This is will play a crucial role in recruitment of new participants, securing funding and the overall future of W2F.
Date: Saturday 17th of October. 10am - 1pm. Meeting online or in person. TBC.
For those who attend, as thanks, you will each receive a luscious W2F goody bag, refreshments (if we meet in person) and support with travel expenses.
