Expense policies
Sewing for Justice expense policy
(4th August 2023)

Sewing for Justice is a new collective established to help develop the Grenfell Memorial Quilt project (GMQ), and others artivist textile projects.

GMQ has been planning and coordinating the making of its quilts over the six years since the tragedy on 14th June 2017, with an anticipated completion date of 14th June 2027. To date GMQ’s quilts have largely been developed by volunteers using donated materials, with only small cash expenditures involved in organising some exhibitions and workshops. The spaces used have been at a local North Kensington library and at a local charity serving a deprived local community, both at no cost.

Sewing for Justice is in the process of assessing how it might now fund expenditure for the rent of its own work space and storage space and other ancillary expenses, as it accelerates the delivery of about 3 times the number of existing quilts (currently six completed measuring about 12ft x 12ft each). Sewing for Justice will develop an outline budget for GMQ (and in due course other projects) as it explores a variety of funding options from individuals, foundations and other sources over the next few months.

As such the initial expense policy will simply be that all expenses will need to be known by GMQ’s driving inspiration, Tuesday Greenidge, plus signed off by one of the two initial administrators notified to Social Change Nest (SCN) at inception, Lisa McKenzie and Alex Korda. It is anticipated that a more comprehensive and better defined expense policy will emerge in due course. Please note that SCN processes payment of expenses three times a week (on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays) and that the following should be borne in mind when making an expense claim.

1) Individual submits an expense claim on Sewing for Justice's page with full details (reason including noting that TG has been informed, amount, date, evidence of spend/purchase etc.).
2) Sewing for Justice’s administrators receive a notification and can review approve or reject the expense claim.
3) If rejected, they can add a note about the expense claim so that the individual can edit or change their claim.
4) If approved SCN receives a notification to pay out expenses.
5) All steps are visible on the platform for full transparency.
