Fa’side Women and Girls Group, Making Rights Real and the Scottish Women’s Budget Group are working together on Park Life for Girls to understand how decisions taken by East Lothian Council and others impact on women and girls use of play areas and public space (public space can be any green space you use or public space such as High St or other areas you go to on your own or with friends.)

All information will be anonymised prior to use, no personal or identifying information will be used. The information provided will be used to develop a report which will make recommendations to address any issues highlighted by this research.

By starting the survey you are consenting to us using this information. You do not have to answer all of the questions, if you start completing the survey and stop we will still receive the answers to the questions you complete.

You will have the option at the end to provide us with your details if you are interested in telling us more about your experiences or if you would like to be entered into a draw for the chance to win a £25 voucher (you do not have to provide these details).
