Why Partner With Patient First Research

Patient First Research offers charities and non-profit organisations a straightforward, ethical way to receive additional funding through member participation in healthcare market research.

There are no targets, no complex setup steps, and no administrative burden. We manage the entire process. Members are fairly rewarded for their time, and they can choose to donate some or all of their market research earnings back to your organisation, each time they complete a study.

You gain a new, low-effort funding stream. Your members gain a meaningful way to influence healthcare whilst earning additional income for themselves.

We work with charities of all shapes and sizes – whether national, regional or local.

A Partnership That Reflects Today’s Realities

Many people living with long‑term conditions face financial pressure. Ethical market research participation can offer a meaningful source of additional income — in a flexible, empowering way. Our donations programme then enables members to share that impact with charities like yours, should they wish.

What’s the catch?

There isn’t one. The model works because everyone involved benefits:

Researchers gain high‑quality, verified patient insights.

Patients earn meaningful incentives, helping with everyday living costs.

Charities receive donations when members choose to give.

There are no fees, no contracts, and no obligations for charities. This is exactly why Patient First Research was created: to build a trusted, ethical system where insights and impact flow naturally
