About the Be Heard! survey

The Be Heard! survey is being carried out by Indigo Ltd on behalf of Peterborough Cultural Alliance (PCA).

Peterborough Cultural Alliance wants to ask people who live in Peterborough about arts, creativity and culture in our city. We want Peterborough to be a great place to find creative and fun things to do, see and visit. We can only do this if we know more about who does and doesn’t take part in activities and why.

The survey asks people who live in Peterborough about the activities they do and the places they go for fun.

There are already some great events and activities happening in the city – opportunities for people to come together, to perform, to learn, to create. But we would like there to be more variety. We also need to ensure there is funding for activities to start and continue.

The survey will help us achieve these aims.
