Help us gather the views of the community on the future of Reading Town Centre – 1 & 2/9/21

Research volunteers needed for Reading Voluntary Action (RVA) in RG1

The Reading Town Centre survey is part of a research project exploring community perceptions of Reading town centre, being carried out by Reading Voluntary Action (RVA) in partnership with the Alliance for Cohesion and Racial Equality (ACRE) and the University of Reading’s Participation Lab.

We are seeking volunteers to support this research by helping us run a stall on Broad Street. There will be information to hand out so that people can complete it online or paper copies that people can complete with your support if needed.

This is an opportunity to speak to a variety of people and would suit someone who is comfortable and confident speaking to a wide range of people.

We are aiming to engage as many people as possible and provide translation where possible, we are therefore especially keen to hear from volunteers with any additional language to English. However, an additional language is not a requirement of the role.

This is a great opportunity to play a part in this exciting project shaping the future development of Reading Town Centre ensuring it is more sustainable, inclusive and liveable for all!
