It may be cold outside, but there’s a warm glow spreading out across the whole of Devon.

The project has today (Thursday) been awarded a £20k Citizen Science Exploration Grant by UK Research and Innovation’s (UKRI).

People in Devon are being urged to think “Pharmacy First” to fix their winter health problems.
