Westminster Centre for Research in Veterans at the University of Chester

We are currently looking to recruit veterans from any ethnic minority to complete a short online questionnaire. We are also looking to interview veterans with Indian sub-continent or West Indian heritage, for which there is a £30 Amazon.co.uk gift voucher. We will also be recruiting white British veterans towards the begin of 2023. I have attached both a recent newsletter we have produced which focusses on this study, and our recruitment poster. I was hoping you may be willing to pass these on to any of your contacts who this may be of interest or given me an introduction to some of the companies that advertise their jobs via your company. We would very much appreciate you sharing this information as widely as possible. Both the newsletter and the poster provide further information, or for anyone who would like to find out more please contact the research team on [email protected]

The questionnaire can be accessed directly by following the link below or scanning the QR code found on the attached documents.
