“…A body of excellent research has identified the numerous barriers that prevent underserved communities from engaging with research, and has set out helpful frameworks for building ethical collaboration and partnerships (see, for example, Facer and Enright, 2016;Bryan et al, 2018;Banks et al, 2019;Bell and Pahl, 2018). There is also a growing literature on community researcher training (Thomas-Hughes and Barke, 2018;Thomas-Hughes, 2020). Bergold and Thomas (2012: 7) identify a 'basic dilemma … that … marginalized communities are in a very poor position to participate in participatory research projects'.…”

This article explores how we recruited and retained a diverse group of community researchers from groups who faced barriers to engaging with research. All were mothers of preschool or primary age children, and fitted one or more of the following criteria: single parent, English as an additional language, first-generation migrant, inner-city resident. We explore the process of recruitment, and making the project accessible, as well as describing the factors that allowed researchers to remain engaged with the project over the course of a year. A dedicated community support worker played a crucial role in resolving barriers to participation, and supporting researchers’ well-being and personal development once they were in the group. The article identifies five key challenges encountered across the lifetime of the project, and the strategies we used to address them. We hope our reflections and practical suggestions will make a contribution to the understanding of how people with multiple accessibility challenges can be supported to take part in, and make an essential contribution to, community–university research projects.
