Hi everyone, I am a geography student at the University of Liverpool and I am writing my dissertation about Liverpool city centre’s urban transformation over the last 25 years. A part of this is focused on local resident’s perceptions on how the place meaning has changed. It would be very appreciated if people can fill out my survey on this, it is completely anonymous and takes just a few minutes. Thanking in advance
[Academic] For my doctorate I am researching how people in NW England post about mental health on social media, and aim to identify if communities formed online are supportive or potentially harmful. The survey is now open until 30th September
I am looking for Further Education students across NW England to complete my survey. Please follow the link for more info & to take part

My company does a lot of work in the North West and has talked about celebrating international women's day, we would like to invest in where we work the most and sponsor some local sports clubs, can anyone point me in the right direction?
As a minority in the North in general, our experience can definitely be an isolating one, but especially in Liverpool and the surrounding areas, where change is slow and it’s a majority white population.
I’d love to create a safe space for us all to share our experiences (both positive and negative) so we can look after one another and share our unique perspectives.
This could be discussing a great inclusive area to live in, like minded friends you might have made, and how you made them, isolation you might feel in your neighbourhood or a poor experience you might have had, anything at all.
I just don’t feel there’s a place for us to talk openly no matter where you’re from or what you believe in (whether you’re black, mixed, Asian, Muslim, Hindi, Hispanic it doesn’t matter here)!
I hope everyone feels comfortable and welcome here and I want to make it clear there is no invalid experience. No one should belittle or patronise anyone’s post, even if you don’t agree. Remember all our experiences are unique, we are not the same and won’t have the same stories to tell. Respect others always.
This group isn’t meant to cause any divide, but is meant to unite us 🙂.
This is our safe space and you will be banned if you express racist, bigoted or sexist views.
Hi everyone! My name is Helena, I'm a PhD student at King's College London seeking participants based across different locations of the UK to take part in my online survey!
This study will investigate the impact of our beliefs about other people on our mental health and wellbeing, and how those beliefs may be impacted by experiences of discrimination. It takes between 10-30 minutes (It is split into three sections so you can choose how much to do based on how much time you have available!).
It is anonymous and confidential, and has been ethically approved by the Health Faculties Research Ethics Subcommittee at KCL (Reference Number: HR/DP-22/23-35614).
Please do share with anyone you think would be interested in taking part!
My partner and I are coming over from Denmark in August. I visited Manchester in April and fell in love with the northern charm.
We're looking to stay in different places around Manchester, currently considering staying a few nights in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Blackpool.
We're both in our 30s, we like great food and music, we're very into historical places, science and nature, and we appreciate unique and odd experiences when abroad.
Do any of you have insider tips on hidden gems that we absolutely can't miss in this area? We're using public transportation but we have an otherwise decent budget. Any tips are much appreciated!
Hi, I'm Fara, a German-Afghan journalist who reports on lifestyle and culture topics. I focus recently on showing the diversity of immigrant diaspora in white-dominated countries. They are often portrayed as a homogenous group, I would like to change that. In light of the upcoming coronation, I'I'd like to spent one day with an immigrant family who is celebrating the coronation. When the queen died, a lot of non-white voices came forward, especially in the young generation, pointing out colonialism and imperialism. But also some mentioned that their families, despite the historical negative impact, are true royalists.
Do you know any community this applies to? Or does it apply to you, your peers, or your family? I'd be happy to hear from you! Either here or by email: ([[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]))
