Shewsie_Parent or Carer Survey

The Shewsie has been supporting the local community from the current Langrove Street complex people since 1974, by providing a range of services such as an after-school club, trips and educational events for local young people. We also offer space for local groups to meet, bringing people together and helping people feel a part of the community.

We are now looking at getting more funding to carry on our work, but want to hear from you to make sure we meet your needs. We would be really grateful if you could spend 5 minutes filling in this quick survey. The more people we hear from, the easier it will be for us to put on services that will make a difference to you and your family.

We have a number of surveys for the local community. Please choose the one best suited to you.

This survey is for parents or carers of local young people, particularly those using the Shewsie. Our other surveys are:

Young person survey: A survey for local young people, particularly those using the Shewsie

General community survey: A survey for local people who do NOT look after young people currently using the Shewsie but are interested in the work we do.

Partner organisation survey: For partner organisations working to support the local community.

Please pass these surveys on to any people in the area who wish to comment on the impact we have on the local area. If you are reading this on a paper copy, please ask a member of the Shewsie team for a copy of the surveys you need. The survey is totally anonymous and you don't have to give your name if you don't want to.

If you want to speak to someone about this survey or would like to speak in more detail about what you'd like to see us do for the community, feel free to ring Dave Brereton on 0151 207 0725.

Thank you.
