Sustainability guides everything we do, from ethical research practices to eco-friendly operations. Each year, we plant trees to help offset our footprint and invest in a greener, more informed future for all.

Our environmental pledge

We’re pushing for a greener world, we plant a tree on behalf of our clients and everyone who supports us through the Lounge.

Planting trees is important. Not only do trees help combat climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide, purifying the air, and restoring ecosystems. But trees also prevent soil erosion, support biodiversity, and provide vital habitats for wildlife. They also enhance wellbeing, cool urban areas, and create greener, more resilient communities. To ensure a healthier planet for future generations.

Latest feedback from participants

Did an online focus group and communication before, during and after were excellent. Offers good incentives for participation and instructions for taking part were clear and professional. Any issues were dealt with swiftly and payment is timely

Having taken part in this company’s focus groups I can say that it was nothing but a positive experience. From the first, all employees were professional, friendly and efficient who provided a clear explanation as to the process and objectives. The session was well-managed, engaging and thought-provoking. I would definitely take part again!

Participated in a toilet roll/kitchen roll project which was thoroughly enjoyable. Great communication throughout and highly recommended! Lovely people x

FAQ The Lounge and Taking part in focus groups

The Lounge is Vision One’s research community of curious, opinion-sharing people who want to shape the future of brands. By taking part in paid research — from surveys to focus groups — you help companies improve products and services. Your voice genuinely influences real decisions.

You might join online focus groups, relaxed discussions, one-to-one interviews, product tests, or quick surveys. Topics range from food, travel and tech to finance, retail and lifestyle. No two studies are the same — which keeps things interesting. We also do mystery shopping, accompanied shopping trips, depth interviews or online surveys.

Not at all! We don’t want “experts” — we want real people. Your everyday opinions, habits, and experiences are exactly what businesses need to hear. If you can share honest feedback, you’re qualified.

Not all research is paid and there are times we are reliant on the public to help for free. However, in such cases where possible we do like to offer a free prize draw to give everyone the opportunity to win. However, our qualitative projects do pay well as they typically require 30mins up to a few hours. Focus groups typically pay around £70-100 for a 90-minute session.

It’s quick, free and simple. Complete a short registration form so we can learn a little about you. This helps us match you with relevant opportunities. Once you’re in, we’ll email you when suitable studies arise. More details here on how to join.

Absolutely. Your personal details are secure and used only for research purposes. We never sell your data. Anything you say is anonymised before being shared, so your privacy is always protected. (Note, We do not ask you to provide any official documents)

Vision One is an established, professional research agency working with leading brands. Our studies are well organised, respectful of your time, and fairly rewarded. The Lounge isn’t just about surveys — it’s about meaningful participation with real impact. We truly value your input and support.
