Many people take part in healthcare market research not only to share their experience or earn a reward, but also to help others living with the same condition.
With our Always Reward Promise, you’ll receive a reward every time you take part, giving you the option to give back whenever you choose.
Our Giving Back programme enables you to donate your research rewards to charity, whether you choose to donate a portion - or all - of your study rewards to a charity or patient support group of your choice, you can do so easily via your members dashboard.
This means:
Market research becomes more than data, it becomes impact. Through our Patient First Research Charity Programme, your participation can help support causes that matter to you.
Giving back is entirely optional, and we’ve made it simple and transparent for members who choose to do so, with our UK Charity Support Programme providing an easy way to support causes that matter to them.

S&L SELF HARM DISTRACTION KITS
Sally’s journey began when her youngest daughter started self-harming, at just 11 years old. She was still in primary school. It was one of the hardest things she ever had to deal with as a parent. Something she had never really heard of before and something she definitely didn’t think would become so prominent in their lives. - All Products | S&L Self-Harm Distraction Kits
