It's been brilliant to learn from Christine's experiences while setting up a new community advisory group to support the Best Start work within YH ARC. Christine was really helpful when I was planning our first group meet-up; sharing her reflections with me from having organised similar family-friendly community events, as well as putting me in touch with an artist who produced a wonderful visual summary. Christine also helped me plan the next steps and ideas for taking forward community research projects, which has been great.
