Participate

Our current research projects are IMPACT and IMPACT North West. The more venues we have taking part, the more we can do with the data. By joining our research projects, you’ll have access to information on your audiences that you won’t get anywhere else, and you’ll see how your audiences differ from others.

It’s easy and free to sign up to take part in our research programmes. We’ll meet with you to discuss the easiest ways you can collect data from your audiences, whether it’s via newsletter, post-visit email, social media, paper surveys, or QR codes in your venue. We can also provide you with tips and tricks to help you get high response levels.

Individuals

Can you spare some time to share your experiences with us? We are often looking to speak to a range of people from different backgrounds to help us with our research.

This may involve focus groups, interviews or filling out a survey. By participating, you can help shape the future of arts and culture projects in Northern Ireland.

We’ll provide you with full training and you’ll get to know our lovely team. By volunteering, you’ll play a crucial role in our research efforts, helping us understand and improve our sector.
