Successes are amongst others a commissioning research model that has resulted in 24 commissioned research projects by ‘Community Researchers’, 225 overseas migrants being supported into NHS jobs, which can generate £ 7.4m in local salaries and 36 new social and community businesses; that have already attracted about £ 250,000 of new income into the local area.”
