Child Volunteers Required!
1 August 2008
Following the launch of our scanning centre at the Longbridge Innovation Centre, we are currently recruiting children between the ages 4-17 years old to be scanned. This ground breaking research is the first time such a large number of children will have been scanned. The data collected is anonymised and is used for the purposes of building a database of the full range of children's shapes and sizes.
If you are interested in bringing your children along to participate please telephone 0870 727 1658 where one of our team will be waiting to take your call.
