Friday 4 April 2025

We’re looking for parents and carers who know about Contact and have used one or more of our of our services such as our helpline, parent workshops, family events, website or social media, to join one of two online focus groups taking place in April to tell us what you think about what we do and how we come across.

Whether you are relatively new to Contact or have been using our services for years, we’d like to hear from you.

Fill in this application form to express your interest in joining one of our two online focus groups .

We are currently taking a good look at Contact’s brand and want to make it better so more families know about us and how we can help them overcome the daily challenges they face. As someone who has already found Contact, your help to get this right will be invaluable. With your help we’ll be able to make sure that we’re using the right messages and make it easier for other parent carers to find us and know that they can turn to us if they need support.

We’re looking for 10 parent carers to join each online focus group which will take about 1 hour 15 minutes. You will only need to join one focus group. Both focus groups will take place on Wednesday 23 April at either 10:30-11:4:5 am or 1-2:15pm.

If you think you can help we’d love to hear from you! Please fill in this form with your details so we can ensure we get a good cross section of people for each focus group planned.

If you are selected to take part either of the two focus groups we are running, your name, email or phone number will be shared with the agency who will be conducting the focus groups on Contact’s behalf. The agency are called Criteria. We will not share any information about your child or family with them.

In consideration of your valuable time and to make sure no one who wants to participate is prevented from taking part because of financial constraints, we are able to offer the people who are selected to take part in the focus group a small financial incentive which will be paid after the focus group has taken place.

Thank you!
