We're recruiting for Mumsnet pre-election focus groups: would you like to take part?

Would you like to be involved in three pre-election Mumsnet focus groups we're co-organising?

We're working with the Times and a polling organisation to find out what issues are important to you, which politicians you like / loathe and how likely you are to actually cast your vote.

We're planning on running three focus groups (one at MNHQ and the other two online) and you would need to be able to take part in all three.

If you're selected and take part in all three groups you will receive £100. Travel expenses will be paid for the London group, (up to £15 for those in London and up to £100 for second-class rail travel for those coming to join in from outside London).

  1. The first focus group would involve coming to Mumsnet Towers in Kentish Town, London on Tuesday 23 March between 12.15pm and 2pm. We'll provide a light lunch, but we're really sorry we can't accommodate babies/children as we simply don't have the space or facilities.

  2. The second focus group is online - so you would just be logging in from home (we'll send you a link) and will take place on Tues 20 April from 11.30am-1pm.

  3. The third focus group is also online and will be on Tues 4 May from 11.30am-1pm.

We're looking for a good cross-section of Mumsnetters. The polling organisation has devised the questions.

The comments made during the focus groups will be used by the Times for articles in the lead-up to the general election - please note your real first name may be used and they will want to use a picture of you.

All data from this survey is confidential - participants will be screened by responses to the questions and your MN or real name will not be linked to your responses.

Sorry, but this project is only open to UK residents who are eligible to vote in the upcoming general election.

So if you're interested, and you can make all three focus groups, please click here.

Thanks,
MNHQ

Maybe they knew your timetable Number 1?!

Thanks for your thoughts re timing of these focus groups. You've made some very valid points which we'll raise with the Times to see if any of the events are movable.
Will report back,
Justine

Hello everyone, following all the justified comments about the timing of the focus groups potentially excluding too many would-be recruits, we've changed the time of the focus groups to the evening, but have had to change the date of the first focus group (the one at MNHQ).

The one at MNHQ will now be at the new time of 8-9.30pm on the new date of Tues 30 March (not 23 Mar as previously billed).

The online chats will take place on Tues 20 April and Tues 4 May at 8-9.30pm.

Sorry, sorry, sorry to everyone who signed up for the original time , but hope you may still be able to come in the evening instead.

Please can you fill in the survey again if you'd like to take part and so it doesn't get even more muddled, we've started a new recruitment thread here.

Thanks
MNHQ
