HART is delighted to welcome on board Dr Hayden Bird, a postdoctoral Research Assistant working in the School of Sport & Exercise Science, with a background in applied research and evaluation across criminal justice, higher education, social work and the voluntary and community sector. Hayden’s current role involves undertaking research on the learning and evaluation of the Talk Eat Drink (TED) East Lindsey project at Community Lincs (part of Lincolnshire YMCA). TED forms part of the ‘Ageing Better’ programme set up by the National Lottery Community Fund, with the aim of developing creative ways for people aged 50 and over to be actively involved in their communities, helping to combat social isolation and loneliness. A very warm welcome to Hayden from all in HART!
