The Printing Charity, the UK’s dedicated charity for those in the print sector, is urging industry representatives to complete its survey which will help the charity shape its future services.

The Printing Charity’s ‘True Picture of People in Print’ survey, which aims to build a picture of how things feel for people working in print, paper, packaging, graphics and publishing, is due to close on July 4th.

The survey aims to gain a detailed picture of the print industry, particularly focused on the priorities and difficulties of the individuals working within it. This will inform the services that The Printing Charity provide moving forward, helping the charity shape its services to best respond when people and businesses need support.

The Printing Charity currently provides mental health support, information, and advice through a confidential Printing Charity helpline which is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The helpline is open for any employees in the print sector and related industries.

The charity also runs a series of events and funding initiatives including its Annual Luncheon and its Rising Star Awards.

Neil Lovell, The Printing Charity’s chief executive officer, says: “We’re running this survey to learn directly from people working in the sector about what matters to them, and how best to support them as we develop future services.

“As we approach our 200th anniversary in 2027 against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving industry, this insight from people in our industry, across all job roles, sectors and business sizes, is crucial. We are asking people in print to please support us by sharing the survey with their employees and broader networks.”

Explaining the impact of the survey in more detail, Lovell adds: “What we learn will ensure our future services respond to the true needs people in print have and enable us to share insight with our industry on how best to support businesses, and their employees’ needs.”

Those wishing to complete the survey have been encouraged to complete the survey, which can be found at this link, as well as sharing the survey with staff and others in their network. Survey respondents will be eligible to enter into a prize draw to win one of four £50 Amazon vouchers.

The survey is run by Aha, a strategy, insight, and creative agency in the fundraising and charity sectors. All survey answers are anonymous and will remain confidential. Data gathered is covered by the Market Research Society code of conduct and will be used only for internal purposes and never shared.
