Dear Members,

Please see link below to access the Ringing Census webpage.

Ringing Census 2026

Key dates

• Census Week: 16-22 November 2026 (including Sunday 22 November).
• Questionnaire availability: 23 November 2026 to 6 December 2026.

The 2026 Ringing Census consists of two separate questionnaires:

1. The Individual Census, which should be completed by individual ringers and seeks to understand people’s experiences, participation, skills, aspirations and involvement in ringing.
2. The Tower Census, with one coordinated return from each tower, covering band membership, ringing activity, learners, facilities and the wider circumstances of the tower.

Both surveys are important. Together they will provide a clearer picture of ringing today and help inform decisions about how we support and develop ringing in the future.

Best Regards

Debs
