Umbrella's next chapter
Umbrella 40th Anniversary Survey
We would love to hear from you
In our fortieth year, we are taking time to reflect on where we have been, where we are now, and what Umbrella’s next chapter could stand for.
We would love to hear your thoughts through a short survey. Your feedback will help us understand what you value most about Umbrella, what should be retained, and where there may be shared opportunities for the future.
The survey only takes a few minutes to complete and is open to all.
Please complete the survey by Tuesday 30 June 2026.
