Paying Young People for Involvement

Mission 44 is committed to meaningfully engaging young people in shaping our
programmes, governance, strategy and decision-making. We recognise that young
people’s time, expertise and knowledge are valuable. This document sets out how we
fairly compensate young people for their contributions, ensuring transparency,
consistency and equity across our work. This guide applies to participation activities and
does not constitute employment.

OUR PRINCIPLES FOR PAYING YOUNG PEOPLE

We commit to the following principles:
  •  Young people are paid for their time, knowledge and expertise.
  • Young people are paid on time and are not left out of pocket.
  • Pay reflects the level of responsibility, preparation and skill required.
  • Payment arrangements to the advisors are explained clearly in advance
  • We provide support where needed.
  • We are mindful of the potential impact of payments on benefits or tax and will signpost to support
  • We will ensure that the conduct, duration and frequency of activities are consistent with protecting the welfare of young people.

Terms and conditions of payment

  •  Our rates of pay reflect the nature of the participation and the level of
  • responsibility, preparation required, and skills involved.
  • When Mission 44 pays young people, it’s on a freelance or self-employed basis.
  • Advisors choose which opportunities to participate in and accept they are not
  • obliged to participate and may decline to participate.
  •  Our standard Advisor rate at £22 exceeds the Real Living Wage and LondonLiving Wage.
  • Payment arrangements will always be agreed and clearly communicated beforeparticipation begins.
  • When young people choose to attend a conference or event alongside a partner organisation, or on their own behalf, Mission 44 covers travel expenses only, unless otherwise agreed in advance.

Approval Process

All paid activities must be agreed in advance with the Mission 44 team. Advisors should
not assume that activities are billable unless tracking sheets have been approved by the
Head of Youth Impact. Advisors are responsible for logging their time on a tracking
sheet provided by Mission 44. Mission 44 will review and confirm hours prior to
Advisors submitting invoices.

How to submit an invoice for payment

Advisors are required to submit an invoice every two months. Mission 44 will send
reminders and provide support throughout this process.

1. Use the invoice template provided by Mission 44
2. Complete all required fields, including:
  •  Invoice period
  •  Approved hours worked
  •  Total amount due
3. Ensure your individual tracking sheet has been reviewed and approved before submitting
4. Upload your completed invoice to the designated payment portal.

Expenses must be claimed separately from your time/hours, but using the same invoice
template.

Please ensure all information is accurate and complete to avoid delays in payment.
