ANNUAL REVIEW 2022

BD_Collective receives £100,000 per year from Barking &Dagenham Council.  Over the last 3 years, we have averaged a 54% spend on the secretariat costs and the remaining amount on activity, either whole Collective events or via networks.  Everything done within networks is transparent and decisions are devolved.

Moving forward, we have set up the Network Pot on the Open Collective platform.  Members of networks who undertake work on behalf of a network can now claim any costs via the platform and anyone can see how/what the money is spent.  The criteria for the network pot was developed by the BD_Collective leadership and is signed off by members of the Design Team.
