Join the Dots - Support Workshops

Collaboration for Change (CfC) and partners are delighted to announce the launch of Join the Dots Participatory Budgeting (PB) around the theme of creating connections. CfC is a collective of organisations and individual activists who are working alongside each other for the Common Good. We work to create open spaces for shared learning, peer support, practical hope and collaboration.

Marian Farrell, CfC said “We are excited to have our first and totally digital PB process on the theme of Creating Connections. This theme is all about bringing new folk together to work on an idea for the common good. People could also submit an idea that will, in itself Create new Connections that bring folk together for the common good. Groups can bid for funds of up to £500 (or its euro equivalent) to make an idea happen”.

Roisin McLaughlin, from NWCN one of the 9 partnering organisations said “This has been an excellent opportunity to learn about PB. PB is all about people voting to decide how to allocate part of a budget. It is a way for citizens to have a direct say in how funds are used to address local needs. We are very proud that the funds available have been sourced through crowdfunding by our own CfC activists and supporters. It has been all about collaboration within the community sector right from the start and it has been a pleasure to work with all of the other partners involved.”

The Join the Dots PB process launched on 23rd August, 2021. To find out more, come along to one of our support workshops, on the 9th and 14th of September.
