    What is Be Heard!

    Be Heard! is a survey to find out what people who live in Peterborough do in their
    spare time for fun. We are particularly interested in what creative, arts and cultural
    activities they do or go to, and what places they may visit.

    It is being run by Peterborough Cultural Alliance to try and make Peterborough a
    place where everyone can find the creative, arts and cultural activities they want.
    The Be Heard! survey is being carried out by Indigo Ltd on behalf of Peterborough
    Cultural Alliance (PCA). It will run from 1 – 29 February 2024.

    Who can fill in the survey?
    Everyone who lives in Peterborough (meaning they pay council tax to
    Peterborough City Council). We want to hear from as many people as possible 16
    years and over who live in the city, from every area and ward. Everyone’s voice is
    important.

    The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete (about 20 minutes if using a
    screen reader). It can be completed on a smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop
    computer.

    We want to hear from everyone who lives in Peterborough – whether they
    currently take part in creative and cultural activities or not. It’s vital that everyone’s
    voice is heard.

    Facts about Be Heard!

    Be Heard! is an online survey. This minimises the amount of paper we use and
    helps us capture information most effectively. It can be completed on a phone, a
    laptop or a desktop computer.
    For help in accessing the internet or completing the survey, people can drop into
    a local library. The staff will help to complete the survey on their public
    computers. (Note: not all libraries are staffed all the time, so please check before
    visiting.)
    Anyone over the age of 16 can complete the survey.
    The answers collected will be anonymous and confidential.
    The survey is available in four languages: English, Polish, Lithuanian and
    Romanian.
    There is an Easy Read version of the survey for those who would find this helpful.
    This is not a survey run by Peterborough City Council, although we hope that
    the findings will help inform their decisions.
    Participants can choose to enter a prize draw on completion. They can enter to
    win £150 of high street shopping vouchers, Amazon vouchers or a voucher for an
    arts and culture organisation of their choice.
