We're currently running a survey to find out what people want from the Eco Hub and what it has delivered so far. This all goes towards our planning, and is super useful when we apply for more funding.
If you've used the Hub as a volunteer, visitor, or in any other capacity, it would be hugely helpful if you could find 10 to 15 minutes to fill it in.
And there's a prize draw too, if you're happy to leave your email address

This survey is your chance to provide some feedback on your experience of Rugby Eco Hub. In addition to ticking boxes, there are a number of opportunities for you to provide comments that help to explain or expand on your feedback.
