Our Featured Projects
We worked with the World Health Organization regional office for Europe to develop the Health Economic Assessment Tool (HEAT), which values the economic benefits from the reduced mortality due to specified levels of walking and cycling.
The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) reports are among the most respected summaries of evidence in cancer prevention in the world. They are always based on the best available evidence and bring together the top experts in their field. Nick Cavill was asked to join the WCRF policy panel in 2008 to provide specific input to their policy report.
Can sport be used to get inactive people moving? That's the question behind our most recent commission from Sport England.
We worked with HM Partnerships and Liverpool First For Health and Wellbeing Partnership to investigate how local policies might be amended to improve public health across Liverpool.
Nick Cavill worked with DfT social researchers to analyse the CCT Evaluation Baseline Survey, investigating the potential for delivering public health benefits through increasing cycling amongst different population groups.
