The Resilience Revolution works as a community of co-researchers to test and learn new ways of working that improve the health and wellbeing of everyone in Blackpool.
In a collaborative research partnership with University of Brighton and BoingBoing, co-researchers bring lots of different information together from interviews and surveys.
Co-researchers use this information to capture a big picture of all the revolutionary activities happening across Blackpool.
