Community Research Report Horton Housing

A Community Research project was co-produced with community members who received training and support from a Leeds Beckett University researcher. Four people chose to become Community Researchers on this project: 3 Afghan men living in temporary hotel accommodation in Bradford and one British woman who volunteers with a housing association. They attended 3 training sessions on research, survey design, and research ethics. The Community Researchers created a survey with the Leeds Beckett researcher and then used the survey independently. The male Community Researchers spoke to other Afghan men and the female Community Researcher spoke to Afghan women. The women felt more comfortable answering as a group. The group had 5 weeks to collect information using the surveys. The Community and University Researchers analysed the information from the survey together and the findings are summarised in this report
