How we hold and process your information
Wavehill have been appointed by Tywi Gateway Trust to undertake an independent evaluation of the Bishop’s Park Walled Garden project.
We are asking people who have taken part in any aspect of the project to complete a questionnaire so we can get a better understanding of the impact the project has had on individuals People taking part in the survey have been selected by the project team. Participation in the survey is voluntary. You can decide to not take part before or during the interview and can choose to not answer certain questions if you prefer.
Any personal information collected as part of the survey is kept confidential. Your answers to the survey will not be made public in a way that could lead to you or your organisation being identified. The information is only used for statistical analysis and research purposes. Wavehill will produce a report based on the data but this will not identify any individuals.
Wavehill will delete all personal data relating to this research within six months of the end of the evaluation (scheduled to end June 2026). Your answers to the survey are linked anonymously to other data sources for non-commercial research purposes only, unless you ask for this linkage to not take place. The anonymised data is held securely and is only ever used for non-commercial research purposes. We do not share or use your information for commercial or marketing purposes.

The Bishop’s Park Walled Garden project aims to restore the walled kitchen garden at Parc yr Esgob/Bishop’s Park in Abergwili, to conserve and protect surviving historical features and create a multi-functional space that will enable a range of health and wellbeing, educational, training and community services to be delivered.

Personal data means any information that could lead to a person being identified either alone or in combination with other widely-available information, e.g. their name, their address, or details specific to that person.
