We've begun a project to renew our websites and we're looking to refresh all of Othona's online presence.

Calling all members, visitors, guests, volunteers and staff of Othona – please would you spare a few minutes to complete this short questionnaire? It’s about belonging and membership of The Othona Community. You may be a life-long member or may not even know that a membership scheme exists. Your answers will help us understand what membership and belonging means for everyone and inform the most helpful way of improving our mission and community together.

Your responses may be anonymous, or you can choose to leave your and contact details.

The survey will close on Sunday 3rd September 2023, and the findings and results will form the basis of a report to the Othona AGM later that month.

Many Many Thanks!
