Proud to have contributed to this report, highlighting the important work of our Communities team and the positive contribution museums can make to the lives of people with mental health problems.

We are very sad to hear of the passing of our former colleague of 30 years, Paul Bidwell, who headed the Archaeology team and transformed Segedunum Roman Fort & Arbeia Roman Fort. Our thoughts and condolences are with his partner and family.
