What will we offer payment for involvement for?
We offer payment for involvement in the Community Resilience Fund decision-making group meetings. This is because taking part requires significant time and commitment and we will make use of your experience and knowledge. You’ll be working as a team to make decisions.
How much will I receive?
All members of the decision-making groups will be given money or vouchers for each meeting they attend, in recognition of their time.
Payment of £32.70 will be made following each meeting that you attend. Participants will receive a maximum of 5 instalments of £32.70, depending on the number of meetings attended. This is at the rate of the Real Living Wage.
Meetings will take place between 2 and 6 weeks apart.
Participation involves:
- Attending at least three meetings, each lasting three hours;
- Working as a group, led by a facilitator, to discuss and make decisions about allocating the Community Resilience Fund;
- Participants might choose to do reading or preparation at home.
This is called payment for involvement or payment for participation and is not the same as work.
Who will receive payment for involvement?
We offer payment for involvement to anyone who takes part in a decision-making group, who is doing so in their own time and not as part of a job they are already paid to do. If you are doing this role within your paid role, we can reimburse your organisation for your time.
Accepting payment is optional.
Requests will be approved by the Community Resilience Fund team and Bristol City Council and then you will be paid by The Social Change Nest (this is the name that will appear in your account when you receive the money).

You can request this payment for involvement after each meeting. Payments will take a few days to arrive once approved.

We will pay for the following reasonable expenses in addition to the payment for involvement:
- Bus tickets;
- Parking costs when free parking is not available;
- Mileage costs at a rate of 45p per mile;
- Taxi (if this is the only option);
- Childcare costs;

You will need to keep receipts for any expenses you incur to provide as evidence. You will then be reimbursed.
All expenses will be paid through the Open Collective online system. Please submit expense claims separately to 'payment for involvement' requests.
We can reimburse you for expenses even if you do not wish to receive payment for involvement. Expenses are not considered the same as earnings or payment.
FAQ

Submit an expense and provide your payment information.
How are expenses approved?
