Carers NZ is participating in a research project that addresses social isolation and loneliness among people with physical disabilities and their family/whānau carers.

We want to explore the impacts of social isolation, and what can improve health and wellbeing if loneliness and isolation are reduced. Feedback can also help us identify gaps in services and support.

This online survey will gather feedback to complement what we hear in upcoming get togethers where people will talk about their experiences of loneliness and social isolation. The survey takes just a few minutes to complete.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts - if you provide your contact details, we'll enter you into our draw for one of ten $50 retail vouchers!
