Canny wi' Cash

Info

EVOC’s first PARTICIPATory BUDGETING Exemplar, Canny wi’ Cash, opened for business in September 2013 EVOC’s Canny wi’ Cash Participatory Budgeting project was all about direct democracy – reaching out to Older People across the city, giving them the power to make spending decisions on a smallgrants programme to fund work with, by and for Older People. Participatory Budgeting is a form of Coproduction (equal & respectful, trusting & purposeful relationships) between budget decision-makers and people affected by these budget decisions. The project adopted a distributed approach to Participatory Budgeting, with paid facilitators going to where Older People gathered – rather than inviting the Older People to come to some central location at a prearranged date and time. This case study takes the reader through this exemplar, stage by stage. It could be read with ‘Our Voice is Being Heard at Last,’ the Canny wi’ Cash project report. We announced and promoted the scheme, inviting groups of Older People to put forward their project proposals 2
