Research
Walking Football Research
Hi everyone! My name’s Gareth Thomas and I’m a researcher based at the Cardiff University School of Social Sciences (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/people/view/52078-). I am about to start a study looking how people became involved in walking football, what they think about it and why they do it, and what the benefits and shortcomings (if any) are. I am looking for people based in the UK to take part in a one-off interview and have permission from Ken Davies to contact you (thank you, Ken).
Interviews are audio-recorded and expected to last about 30-40 minutes. It can be carried out online (Zoom or equivalent) or in-person, if you live near the Cardiff area. You will have over 24 hours to consider participation, you can withdraw from the interview or study at any time up until an agreed deadline, you can stop the audio-recorder at any time, and you can avoid answering certain questions. Participation should be at no financial cost to you. Your decision of whether to take part or not will also have no impact on your participation in walking football. Participation is entirely voluntary! I can provide more information on data protection and what happens to the produced data too.
Please message me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/gareth.martin.1088/) or email me (at thomasg23@cf.ac.uk) if you are interested in taking part. I’m happy to answer any other questions that you have. Thanks for reading this post and I hope you choose to take part!
All the best,
Gareth
