Celebrating Volunteers' Week
Giving thanks to the volunteers who give their time to support older people in a variety of ways.
Can you spare some time to share your feedback on our information guides? We'd love to hear your thoughts!
The Readers' Panel is a group of volunteers who kindly review our information guides. Their feedback helps us ensure that our guides are as useful as possible for older people and their carers, family and friends.
Each of our guides offers an introduction to a topic and points to useful resources or organisations for more information. We have over 40 guides on a range of topics, from money and legal issues to health and housing.
No more than once a month, we'll ask you to review one of our guides and complete a short survey about it. We'll provide links to the guide and survey — you'll then have around 10 days to submit your answers.
We're interested in your general impressions of the content, tone, layout and structure of our guides and if there's anything you'd suggest adding.
If you haven't done anything like this before, don't worry! You don't need any training or previous experience to become a member of the Readers' Panel.
