Did you know that you can take part in Panel Cyfryngau Cymru Media Panel Wales by post?

Panel Cyfryngau Cymru Media Panel Wales conducts weekly research into the viewing and listening habits of the people of Wales.

We send out weekly surveys giving you the opportunity to have your say about the things that you watched and listened to in the previous week.

We offer shopping vouchers, community funding or donations to our nominated charity as reward for taking part (click HERE for details). We also conduct regular member prize draws.

If you would like to take part by post, you can join ONLINE or by calling 07494 506 962. We will then send you our weekly surveys with a freepost envelope so that you can return the survey to us for free.

We had a great time at the Eisteddfod in Llanrwst, it was lovely to catch up with our existing members, and of course to welcome our new members to Media Panel Wales!

Everybody who signed up during the week to participate in the research should receive their first survey soon.

We had a fantastic week at the Urdd Eisteddfod. It was great to catch up with our members, old and new.

All new members who signed up in Cardiff Bay should receive their first survey soon –  Welcome to Media Panel Wales!

Members can choose to donate their credits to one of our nominated charities.

Once a member collects 10 credits we automatically donate £5 to their chosen charity.

We reward our members for all completed surveys and are very pleased to announce that we have rewarded our members with the following during 2018:

£11,290 in shopping vouchers

Many of our Media Panel Wales panellists choose to convert the rewards they earn for completing our surveys into charity donations. I arranged to visit one of our nominated charities, Tŷ Gobaith, to build on our relationship and share a little about their amazing work with you.

I met with Eluned Yaxley, Senior Area Fundraiser, to discuss the partnership between Media Panel Wales and Tŷ Gobaith and learn how donations provide care and support to terminally ill children and young people, and their families from North and Mid Wales. Eluned and the fundraising office is based within the walls of Conwy town, but the children’s hospice itself is situated in what must be one of the most stunning locations in Wales, overlooking the Conwy Valley.

I think it’s only natural to think that a hospice will be filled with sadness and unhappy faces, but in fact whilst a large majority of the children who attend Tŷ Gobaith do have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, Tŷ Gobaith is a space for smiles too.

Staff and volunteers provide a safe, loving and happy environment for the children and their parents to make the very most of the precious time they have together.

If you would like to know more about Tŷ Gobaith go to www.hopehouse.org.uk

The money raised by our members who fill in the simple weekly surveys about what they watch on TV is spent on delivering and developing care and experiences for the children and young people receiving the care.

If you would like to donate to Tŷ Gobaith by filling in our surveys please click here.

What an amazing week, it was great to catch up with our members old and new.

All new members who signed up at the Eisteddfod should receive their 1^st survey soon.

Members often ask what happens to all of the information gathered through our weekly surveys.

S4C recently published their Annual Report for 2018, in this report you will be able to spot some of the information collected by the research.
