ONGOING PROJECT  

Women & Asthma 

Led by the Wellcome Trust and The Imperial College London

This public engagement programme aims to change perceptions about asthma, revealing the diversity and complexity of the condition and associated health inequalities. We will generate new understanding by bringing together women with lived experience of asthma and asthma researchers to express and exchange their unique perspectives using creative tools and techniques.

We are working with three craft organisations: Stitches in Time in London, Craftspace in Birmingham and The Sewing Rooms in Skelmersdale to deliver a programme of in-person and online workshops. Following the workshop programme, participants will take part in a participatory process, using their creative exploration to inspire the development of engagement activities to share their stories  with public audiences.
