Hi,

I am a PhD student at the University of Surrey where I am researching the impact of elder caring on lesbian lives. You can see more about my research, and my supervisor here http://www.psy.surrey.ac.uk/people/phd/index.htm#orla

I am currently looking for lesbian volunteers to take part in interviews about how having elder care responsibility affects their life and relationships.  If you have previously or currently provide support to an elderly relative – perhaps you live with someone for who you have responsibility, maybe you live separately but provide support by visiting or regular phone calls, or maybe you provide financial support; whatever your circumstances, if you provide any form of help to an elderly relative (or have done in the past) you are involved to some degree in informal elder caring and I am interested in hearing about how these responsibilities have impacted your life, if at all.

Taking part would involve talking to me about your experiences in an interview, which would be arranged to suit, in exchange for a £5 Gift Card. Of course all personal information provided by you will be treated in a confidential manner.

If you have any questions about my research, think you might be interested in taking part, or know of someone who would be interested in taking part please message me here or you can email me on op00005@surrey.ac.uk for further details. Also, if you know of any other groups that I may contact please message me with details!

Thanks for your interest
