The University of Edinburgh are looking for people aged 55 or over to participate in their WE-EngAGE research project.
About the research: The University of Edinburgh are exploring the effects of leisure engagement on the psychological, cognitive, and physical wellbeing of adults aged 55 or over. This includes exploring what makes individuals engage less or more with different types of leisure activities, and they are interested to hear from those who do and do not currently engage. These activities include engagement with social clubs, community groups, exercise groups, volunteering, and arts, culture, and heritage.
Participation involves completing a short online survey and, if invited, joining an online focus group discussion. Participants in the focus group will be reimbursed for their time. The project is a partnership between University College London (UCL) and the University of Edinburgh.
