    032: Fair Pay for Lived Experience: Lessons from Bristol City Council
    Oct 8 2024
    Today we are talking about the mammoth topic of Payment for Involvement, part of our Payment for Involvement podcast series that we’ve been running over the past couple of months since the launch of the payment for Involvement playbook.

    In the previous episode, we explored why it’s so important for organisations to recognise and value lived experience and to pay people for their involvement.

    In this episode we’re joined by three, absolutely brilliant guests from Bristol City Council.

    They share their journey of creating and implementing a payment for involvement policy in a local authority and discuss the practicalities of how you actually pay people as well.This episode is really jam packed with insightful learnings from their first hand experience. So whether you’re from a local authority, a nonprofit, or really just any organisation that’s looking to engage more equitably and fairly with the communities that you’re serving, you won’t want to miss it.


    Want help designing a fair and equitable payment for involvement policy for your organisation? Get in touch to find out how we can help.

    031: Payment for Involvement - When Compensation Affects Benefits
    Apr 30 2024
    What happens when you compensate people for their involvement, but doing so negatively impacts their eligibility for government benefits?

    Together, we'll unpack why paying people for their lived experience is the right thing to do, but also explore the challenges of doing this effectively without disrupting people's benefits.

    This is something we've been grappling with as an organisation for the last six months, and over the course of this three part mini-series we'll be sharing everything we've learned along the way.

    p.s. Keep a look out for the launch of our free 'Payment for Involvement Playbook'. Designed to help you create a fair payment for involvement policy for your organisation.
