What South Yorkshire members say
Joined a remote focus group about health services. Very well run, relaxed atmosphere. They actually listened rather than just ticking boxes. Voucher arrived the following day, no messing.
The topics were actually interesting and they genuinely wanted my honest Sheffield opinion, not just a yes or no. No pressure, easy to fit around school hours. Would take part again without question.
I did a remote diary study over a couple of weeks, easy to do from home in Barnsley. I liked that my views on local services actually counted for something. Felt like proper research, not just box-ticking.
