Influential has been appointed to work on a major piece of research to understand the views, attitudes and experiences of Covid-19 among black, Asian and minority ethnic communities.
It has been commissioned by The Cheshire and Merseyside Health and Care Partnership (C&MHCP) following data showing that ethnic minority communities are disproportionately affected by the virus.
“Influential’s tender really stood out because of their strong expertise in both insights and communications; their unique multi-channel approach to the research project; and their concept of forming a conglomerate with other key agencies to ensure every angle was covered,” said Edna Boampong, Deputy Director of Communications and Engagement at the Cheshire and Merseyside Heath and Care Partnership, and Communications Lead for Cheshire and Merseyside’s COVID-19 Vaccination Programme.
