Research Community (only 30 spaces for this 12 week project)
We want to test the impact of discussing our research findings with those involved (paid or voluntary) in ministry amongst children, young people or families.
One group of participants will complete a short online survey in both February and June, and not read any of our research or attend any of our online events during this time. You will be entered into a prize draw for a £50 Amazon voucher in June to thank you for your time.
The other two groups will complete a short online survey in both February and June, and choose to either receive our weekly emails containing research insights for 12 weeks, or to attend four live webinars during which we will discuss relevant research findings. You will be entered into a prize draw for a £100 Amazon voucher in June to thank you for your time.
