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.Hosts: Saoirse Barry, The Social Change NestGuests: Robyn Taylor, Megan Belcher and Ellie Stevens from Bristol City CouncilTheme music by Loyalty Freak Music
