Why Leeds is a hub for research studies
Leeds and West Yorkshire have one of the most active research communities in the UK. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, one of the largest teaching hospital trusts in the country, regularly commissions patient experience and healthcare research. The city that gave the world Marks & Spencer (from a stall in Kirkgate Market, no less) is also a major centre for financial services, digital, and public sector research. Researchers need to hear from the people who actually live and work here.
Remote studies are available for anyone in Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Harrogate, and across West Yorkshire, done from home with no travel required. In-person studies typically take place at venues in Leeds city centre, though we know getting into town is not always straightforward, and we always share venue details in advance.
Participation Studio, the agency behind The Collective, is based in Huddersfield. We are West Yorkshire through and through, which is why growing a strong local panel matters to us, not just as a business, but as part of the region.

What West Yorkshire members say
I have done three sessions now. A survey, a video call about a banking app, and a focus group on NHS services in West Yorkshire. Each one was interesting and the vouchers came through dead quickly. Nowt complicated about it.
I liked that they actually wanted to hear from someone like me. Not particularly technical but they said that was the point. Bradford folks do not mess about. Very relaxed, no pressure, just tell it how it is.
As a full-time carer I really appreciated the remote options. I did a diary study from home over two weeks, fitting it in between school runs and everything else. Easy to manage and it genuinely felt worthwhile. The voucher helped too.
