The Rural Services Network in partnership with the Citizens Advice is running a Rural Cost of Living Household Survey. We are thrilled with the 3,000 responses we have had so far but we would like more and are hoping you can help!
HELP NEEDED IN TARGETING HARD TO REACH RESIDENTS
Ideally, we would like to target hard to reach rural residents, i.e. those without access to the internet or the capacity to engage with services online.
We are hoping you could feature the attached poster prominently in your community to help your local residents complete the survey. Places such as town and village bulletin boards, town and village halls, community shops and local food banks would be great areas to feature this poster.
We have also ensured the survey can be completed multiple times on the same device, so if colleagues are in the community with a digital device, they could help rural residents complete the survey. As much as we would like to supply paper surveys and input them ourselves resources don’t allow that’s why we would really appreciate your help.
HOW WILL THE RESULTS BE USED?
Results from the survey will build on the Rural Cost of Living research we commissioned last year and help us to lobby Government Departments, MPs and other policy makers for a fairer deal for rural communities.
I look forward to your support, any queries please drop me a line and I’ll be happy to help.
The survey will run until 31 March 2023.
