Veterans: Have Your Say on Digital Needs
Research and data are vital in shaping how funding is directed to meet community needs across the UK. The veterans’ community is no different, when needs are identified and backed by evidence, resources can be allocated to make a real difference.
That’s why we’ve been asked by King’s College London to help circulate their Veterans’ Digital Needs Study.
If you are a former member of the UK Armed Forces (aged 18+ and residing in the UK), we invite you to take part.
If you are a carer or family member supporting a veteran, you can also complete the survey on their behalf.
The online questionnaire takes just 10–15 minutes to complete and covers:
• Military service background
• General health and wellbeing
• Digital technology use
• Any challenges faced with digital access
All responses are anonymous, and your data will be stored securely for research purposes only.
You can take part via the QR code or by clicking this link: https://qualtrics.kcl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_5w3138xWRgZRzeu...
Your voice matters. By sharing your experiences, you can help ensure that the right resources and support reach the veteran community where they’re needed most.
