Dr. Katie's Research

As part of the major changes underway at Hudson Road Family Centre, we have engaged Research Specialist Dr Katie Roe to undertake a research project into what our clients value about Hudson Road, areas that could be improved and if they would recommend the centre to other people or groups.

Dr Katie’s research will be carried out in two stages.

She will first contact a number of regular clients to chat about what they value at the centre, what they find challenging, and what they recommend.

This information will be used to inform the development of an online survey which will be open to all community members (clients and participants) who engage with and use Hudson Road.

The research aims to inform HRFC of any values their clients and the local community identify which can be used to promote the centre or encourage engagement; identify any issues clients or the community have when engaging with the centre so these can be addressed to maximise the facility and client experiences; and discover if clients and the community recommend the centre to other groups / individuals.
​
“HRFC has great potential to provide the local community with a central location for numerous activities and events. It has great parking, easy access, numerous rooms and facilities available,” Dr Katie said.
