#Red4Research 2022

#Red4Research is back.

On the front line and behind the scenes incredible research teams continue to work on health and social care research. COVID-19 has forced us to do things differently, to be more innovative, flexible and more responsive. Over the past two years, the R&D community in collaboration with the health and care sectors and voluntary organisations has achieved a phenomenal amount.

#Red4Research Day aims to get as many people as possible wearing red to demonstrate their support and appreciation for all those participating, undertaking and supporting COVID-19 and other research. It is an opportunity to showcase the phenomenal work, learning legacy and the new innovative research system/techniques that have arisen. None of which would be possible without all people involved – people make research happen.

#Red4Research is completely inclusive – anyone, any age, anywhere can participate – children, adults, even pets! The concept is very simple. Wear any item of clothing as long as it is red download/print or make a placard saying #Red4Research, take a photo and post it on social media with the #Red4Research hashtag. #Red4Research is all about positivity, creativity and support in the face of adversity. Hopefully people might have a bit of fun along the way and raise the profile of research.

We'd love to see your photos, so add #ResearchSavesLives to your images on social media and we'll share them too.
