Over 50s needed for a study on reading and well-being

Description

We are looking for volunteers aged 50+ to help with our exciting research on reading and well-being.

Volunteers will get the chance to listen to a free audiobook (from a choice of 4) and will be provided with a £10 Love2Shop voucher as a thank you.

We are especially interested in recruiting volunteers from Darnall, Firth Park, and Manor.

Please get in touch with Giulia (pronounced 'Julia') on email g.poerio@sheffield.ac.uk or on 0114 222 6544 if you would like to take part or for more details.

The project is a collaboration between the University of Sheffield Psychology department and Ignite Imaginations and is funded by the Arts Council.

Please consider helping with our research and/or passing our advert to any individuals/groups that might be interested.

Thank you!
