Mission and Purpose
The PPC are an affiliation of people involved in different ways, in work around participation.
They are active in a range of different sectors in the UK (health, community development, social exclusion, environment), in a range of different ways (small and large voluntary organisations, statutory, freelance trainers and practitioners, community organisations) - and using a range of participatory approaches.
Their common issue, is that much that is done in the name of participation does not in fact lead to greater involvement of people, nor does it lead to any significant change in the status quo of power and decision-making.
