The Greenwich Project
The Greenwich Project is an innovative, longitudinal and reactive study of the residents of Greenwich.
Why Greenwich?
Greenwich is where we work and live. The University is part of the local community and seeks to engage with and understand the perspectives of the different groups it represents. The huge diversity of the Greenwich community means it is uniquely positioned to share its views on local and national level changes and how these impact people from differing backgrounds in real-time.
The aim of The Greenwich Project is to understand our Greenwich community better. We want to ask the community about their lives – how they live and work, what makes them happy or sad, and how they and their families thrive (or not) in Greenwich. We think then we will be able to better inform what locally and nationally will improve the lives of our local community.
How can you get involved in The Greenwich Project?
Take part in our survey
What does the survey involve?
- The research team has designed a 20-30 minute survey around what Greenwich residents feel is important to them and whether they would be interested in being involved in future research opportunities.
What are the benefits of participating?
- All participants will be reimbursed with a £10 Love2Shop gift voucher.
- Participants will be contributing to a study that aims to understand the needs of the Greenwich Community better.
What do we hope to gain from this?
- Understand what matters to the Greenwich people and how those things that matter, change over time.
- Create a true picture of what it is like to live and work in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
- Create future research opportunities that are accessible and will benefit Greenwich residents.
