The University of Kent and the Belong Network are working together on the ‘Beyond Us and Them’ research project (funded by the Nuffield Foundation) to understand the experiences of people from communities and local areas across the UK in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are looking for people to take part in a 30 minute interview or 1 hour focus group over Zoom to talk about their experiences.

We are currently recruiting in the following areas:

·        Greater London

·        Greater Manchester

·        West Midlands

Hearing your thoughts on the pandemic will be incredibly useful for us because it will help shape the direction of our work in your local area and give us vital evidence to support this work in the future.

The University of Kent is giving participants a £10 gift voucher for the first session and another £10 gift voucher for a second session six weeks later.

Please contact megan@belongnetwork.co.uk to book your place in a focus group session or to arrange a date/time for your interview, and if you have any further questions.
