Dott Projects
| Urban Farming | |
 |
|
| During the summer and autumn of 2007, thousands of people living and working in Middlesbrough participated in a project to increase local food production and reduce food miles. Along the way, young, old, rich and poor worked together, growing food and realising new relationships with local food producers and existing growers in the town and its surrounding area. Their goal has been to pioneer a new sustainable future – not just for Middlesbrough, but also other post-industrial communities across the UK. |

| Design and Sexual Health (DaSH) | |
|
|
| DaSH was a collaboration between Dott 07 and Gateshead Primary Care Trust (PCT), who worked together on design actions that would make sexual health screening and treatment services easier to access and use. The project aimed to develop a system where people would be seen by a local service within 48 hours of contact, and where the treatment path is clearly explained and suits the user’s needs. The team, led by Dr Louise Hulton of Design Options, began by conducting research to understand the daily lives of the people that policy-makers hope will use the service. |
