Men in Surrey, we want to hear from you! 👋

We’ve been commissioned by Surrey County Council to hear from men across Surrey about their mental health and wellbeing.

What affects your mental health? What helps you cope? And if you needed support, would you know where to turn?

We want to hear from men aged 18+ across Surrey, whether or not you’ve ever used mental health support. Your experiences can help improve understanding of what men need.

⏱️ Takes just 10–15 minutes
🔒 Confidential and anonymous
📅 Closes Tuesday 6th October 2026

Are you a person living with dementia, or do you support someone who is? We want to hear from you.

Alzheimer's Research UK want to understand what can make it difficult for people to take part in dementia research and how to make it easier.

What you tell us could help make it easier for people to take part in dementia research in the future.

Who do we want to hear from?
🔸 People living with dementia
🔸 Family members of someone living with dementia
🔸 Unpaid carers of someone living with dementia

You do not need to have taken part in research before. We particularly want to hear from people who do not usually take part in research.

You will receive a voucher of around £60, depending on how you participate.

How can you take part? We will find a way of taking part that works for you!

You could:
🔸 Talk to a researcher from M·E·L Research on your own
🔸 Take part with someone you trust
🔸 Join a small group discussion
🔸 Take breaks and take your time.
🔸 Ask us any questions before you decide if you would like to take part. Taking part is your choice, and you do not have to take part if you do not want to.

The research is taking place during September and October 2026.

Interested in taking part or finding out more? Please contact Olivia Smith at [email protected] or take a look at the information sheet: https://lnkd.in/ep3NfFUm

Are you a female veteran? We want to hear from you!

M·E·L Research is carrying out research, on behalf of the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, to better understand the experiences and support needs of women who have served in the UK Armed Forces.

The survey is specifically looking at experiences of inappropriate behaviour witnessed or experienced while in service, and how this may have affected women during or after their time in the Armed Forces.

Have your say by completing the survey 👉
https://survey.euro.confirmit.com/wix/p767865159008.aspx

Your views will help build a clearer picture of the support currently available, what’s working well, and where improvements may be needed for female veterans.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and share your experience.

Please note: This anonymous survey asks about accessing support, reporting experiences and what services could do better. You will not be asked to describe any specific incidents, and you can skip any questions you don’t want to answer.
