Survey for early retirees living in the Craven and Ryedale areas

Share your views about early retirement if you live in the Craven or Ryedale areas and are aged 50 to 64.

Reasons for the survey

We are carrying out research to help understand more about the experiences of early retirement. 

We are interested in hearing from those who have retired early, aged 50 to 64, living in the Craven or Ryedale areas, about your:

  • reasons for retiring 
  • early retirement experiences
  • views about returning to paid work

The survey is confidential and only takes five to 10 minutes to complete.

Take part in the early retirees survey

The survey will close on Monday 3 November 2025. 

Optional focus group/ interview

There is an option in the survey for eligible respondents to take part in a follow up research interview or focus group, either face-to-face or online, to further discuss your experiences of early retirement. A £20 shopping voucher will be offered to everyone who participates in this additional research.
