Newcastle University Scoping Project on Ballast Hills Burial Ground

We're thrilled to share that Newcastle University in the north-east of England is leading a scoping project focused on Ballast Hills Burial Ground, and they want to involve the community in shaping the conversation about this historic site.

As part of the project, they're starting by gathering information on public views about burial spaces, and they need your input! Your thoughts and experiences are invaluable in understanding how burial grounds like Ballast Hills are perceived and valued.

Please take a few minutes to complete this online survey: https://forms.office.com/e/chAsrYZEYx. The survey will be open until 21 September 2024. Your participation will help ensure that the community’s voice is heard in this important project.

Thank you for your time and input!
