From Leeds to Hull, Sheffield to Scarborough

Yorkshire is one of the UK's most varied regions, from Leeds and Bradford in the west, Sheffield and Barnsley in the south, to Hull and the East Riding in the east, and Harrogate, York, and Scarborough in the north. God's Own County has its own communities, industries, and healthcare needs, and researchers need to hear from people right across the region, not just from city centres.

NHS Yorkshire and Humber covers some of the most complex and diverse health needs in the country. Digital health, patient experience, and public services research are all active in the region, alongside product testing, financial services research, and more. Yorkshire people are famously straight-talking, which makes for much better research.

Remote studies can be done from anywhere in Yorkshire with no travel required. In-person studies take place at venues in Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, Hull, and across the region. No one is asking you to go further than you fancy.

What 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. Each one was interesting and the vouchers came through quickly. Yorkshire folk are direct. The researchers seemed to appreciate that.

Retired nurse, Leeds

I liked that they actually wanted to hear from someone like me. Not particularly technical but they said that was the point. Very relaxed, no pressure at all. Just say what you think, which suits me fine.

As a full-time carer I appreciated the remote options. Did a diary study from home in Wakefield over two weeks, fitting it around everything else. Genuinely worthwhile, and the voucher helped too.

Paid research studies across Yorkshire

Do you run paid research studies across Yorkshire?
Yes. We recruit from across Yorkshire, Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, Wakefield, York, Hull, Harrogate, Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, and the surrounding areas. Remote studies are open to anyone in the region regardless of their exact location.
Are there paid research studies in Hull and East Yorkshire?
Yes. The Collective is open to participants from across Yorkshire, including Hull, Beverley, and the East Riding. Remote studies can be done from home anywhere in the region. We take your location into account when matching you to in-person opportunities.
Are there in-person research opportunities outside Leeds in Yorkshire?
Yes. In-person studies in Yorkshire take place at venues across the region, Sheffield, Bradford, Wakefield, York, Hull, and other locations, not just in Leeds. We always include the venue in any in-person invitation so you can decide whether it is practical.
Are there paid NHS research studies in Yorkshire?
Yes. Healthcare research is a significant part of our work in Yorkshire. NHS trusts across the region, including Leeds Teaching Hospitals, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals, and Hull University Teaching Hospitals, regularly commission patient experience and healthcare research.
Can I join from a rural area of Yorkshire?
Absolutely. Many studies are fully remote and can be done from home anywhere in Yorkshire, including rural areas. Your perspective as someone living outside a city centre is often exactly what researchers need. For in-person studies, we always share the venue location in advance.
How do I sign up for paid research in Yorkshire?
Join The Collective for free at participationstudio.co.uk/the-collective/join/. Tell us your Yorkshire location and a bit about yourself. When a study matches your profile, we will email you with the details and payment before you commit to anything.
What is the difference between this Yorkshire page and the Leeds page?
The Leeds page focuses specifically on Leeds and West Yorkshire. This Yorkshire page covers the whole county, including Sheffield and South Yorkshire, York, Hull and East Yorkshire, Harrogate, Scarborough, and all surrounding areas. If you are based outside Leeds itself, this is the more relevant page.
