A research project at University College London in partnership with Carers Centre Tower Hamlets is translating iSupport into Bengali, and culturally adapting it so that more people can access the resource.
We are inviting people to review iSupport materials in into Bengali then take part in a one-off group discussion to provide feedback.

- The discussion will last approximately 2 hours and will be held in Bengali.
You will receive a £75 Love2Shop voucher as a thank you for being involved.
