We’ll drop you an invite to surveys and activities on topics which we’d like your thoughts on.

New activities go live each week, but everything is optional – do what works for you! We try to ensure that you’re only invited to things that may be relevant to you.

New research activities will be available every week. Invites to new activities are sent via email to your registered email address.

Yes! Your opinions are important to us at Channel 4, so as well as feel good vibes for supporting us, you’ll be rewarded for getting involved by:

No, all activities are optional. Although the more you get involved, the more perks you unlock. There are points to earn (redeemable for gift vouchers), prize draw entries to gain (100+ prizes up for grabs each month) and awards like badges and community kudos on offer too.

It varies by survey, the topic and what type of feedback we’d like. Surveys tend to take 3-15 minutes to complete. For each survey we invite you to, we’ll let you know the topic, length, what you need to do and how you’ll be rewarded.
