Aims and activities
Many organisations - including funders - are increasingly keen to involve and collaborate with people with lived experience of the issues they are working on. For years this has often been based on the assumption that people with lived experience will undertake this work voluntarily. However, if an organisation has equitable practices at its core, fair remuneration for work must be a priority.
However, even where there is a will, there may not necessarily be a way. Organisations wanting to implement a payment for involvement policy will likely come across many bureaucratic processes in order to make this acceptable for auditors and comply with accountancy, finance and risk management processes.
Our learning community is made up of any organisation who is committed to finding a fair and just payment for involvement policy. We range from charities and NGO’s, to local authorities and national bodies, social movements and foundations. We meet 3-4 times a year on line to discuss the challenges around creating and delivering on policies from both an organisational and systemic approach.
