Make Media Survey


Below is a survey on your thoughts about the proposed Make Media Centre in Salford. Please, if you have not already, please complete this for us, even if you are nowhere near the North West, as it will both assist the development of this particular project and also give us ammo to give to you in other parts of the UK to persuade funders to set up similar projects in your area. NB none of the project activity proposed for the Make Media Centre will displace current activity in the community media sector – additionality not displacement is crucial to its success.

The survey takes only 5 minutes to complete:http://tinyurl.com/MMC-CM-organisations
