This is your chance to help inform the Community Knowledge Matter (CKM) network.
The Community Knowledge Matters (CKM) network launched in August 2023, bringing together people interested in community-led research shaping practice and policy change. While it began with a focus on the Highlands and Islands and on mental wellbeing, since 2025 the network has broadened to foreground rural and island Scotland more widely and cover a broader range of research topics.
As CKM make plans for the network moving forward, they would like to know what you have found useful – whether you have engaged with their activities yet or not – and what you would like to see happen next.
This is your chance to feed into what the network might look like in the future by taking part in their survey.
The survey includes approximately 12 questions and should take about 10–15 minutes to complete. All answers will be anonymous. Anyone who completes the survey will have the opportunity to enter a free prize draw for the chance to win one of three £30 gift cards.
The survey will close on Sunday 12 July.
For more information and to complete the survey, please visit the Community Knowledge Matters survey page.
