Note: a) Social position and ethnicity were free text responses; responses for the remaining questions were pre-fixed categories.
The attendees were asked to complete a voluntary, anonymous demographic information form. The demographic characteristics of those who responded indicate a 60:40 female to male ratio. Participants were mostly young to midlife adults, with two thirds of participants between 25-44 years: few being under 24 or over 64. Social class responses showed roughly 53% defining as working class or low income. Around 80% were working, with those not working retired, caring for relatives or small children, or unable to work due to ill-health.
