At EWiF, we’re proud to champion initiatives that support and uplift the people behind the UK’s franchising industry — which is why we’re excited to spotlight a powerful new project from one of our valued members, Cinder.

The Cinder National Franchise Wellbeing Survey is currently live and already making waves across the sector. Developed to better understand mental health and wellbeing in franchising, the survey aims to create a comprehensive picture of how individuals are coping — and what support is still needed.

Who is the survey for?

Whether you’re a franchisor, franchisee, or a supplier to the franchise industry, this survey is for you. Cinder wants to hear from as many voices as possible — so if you’re a franchisor, please do share the survey with your franchisees and team members.

Why should I take part?

  • It’s 100% anonymous – there is no way to link your responses back to you or your organisation

  • It’s quick and easy – just a few minutes to complete

  • It’s meaningful – your feedback will help shape the future of wellbeing support in franchising

  • You could win a £100 Virgin Experience Days gift card! (opt in at the end of the survey)

As one participant put it:

“What a well-presented survey – easy to respond to and not too long! I can’t wait to hear the results.”
– Louise Harris, QFP – Franchise Projects

What happens next?

The results of the survey will be shared during National Franchise Wellbeing Week, taking place from 16th to 20th June 2025, in partnership with the BFA. This promises to be a week full of insights, awareness and collective action – and this survey is the foundation.
