About GRACE

Inform

Deliver information on genetics and genetics testing in a way that can be understood and applied to real life. We aim to produce educational materials which are ‘bitesize’ and easy to understand. 

Engage

We attend festivals and events where we can engage with people and instigate dialogue on genetics. We use various activities to try and make genetics fun and truly inclusive.

Research

We are conducting research at community level  to identify current attitudes and areas of under representation in genetics research. We are currently conducting a survey.
