Take part in our research

Your voice matters - shape the future of Loughborough.

We're looking for volunteers to share their thoughts on how to make Loughborough a place where you can comfortably be physically active, whether that be on your way to work or school or in your free time.

As someone who lives or works in Loughborough, we want to hear about your experiences:

• How do you get around Loughborough? Are you able to walk or cycle?
• How comfortable do you feel walking or cycling in Loughborough at night?

Your feedback will help our research teams to develop plans and activities that make it easier for local people and communities to keep active and get around. By having your say on issues that are important to you, you can also help to inform important decisions about the future of the town.  

What's involved?

Join a community tour to key locations in the town and complete a survey. The community tours last up to two hours plus initial training – refreshments will be provided, and we’ll also cover your transport costs. A minibus will be used to help transport participants between locations to make taking part more accessible. You’ll also receive a £10 voucher as a thank you for taking part.

When’s it happening?

Community tours will be held until February 2025, based on your availability. Please contact us, and we will be in touch. Alternatively, if you'd like to discuss taking part over the phone, you can reach us using the details below.

Why take part?

Your voice matters! By participating, you'll help shape the future of Loughborough and make a meaningful impact on our community's quality of life. Community feedback has already led to the implementation of outdoor gym equipment and tailored cycle training programs, and your ideas will guide the creation of an environment that allows everyone to be physically active.
