Hi everyone,

I hope you're all having a good week. 

We’re collecting quotes from our storytellers about what everyday equality means to them for content on the run-up to the general election.

It would be amazing if you could send over some responses to the questions below.

We’d love to use your answers to these on social media and/or a blog but would obviously run this past you first to check you’re happy with them! There are a lot of questions here, so just pick the ones that are most relevant to you.

You can either comment below or email me at phil.marsh@scope.org.uk 

Many thanks!
Phil (Stories Manager)
