Travel and access
Pooled support towards helping participants reach workshops and sessions, including local travel and practical access needs.
Creative materials
Pooled support towards creative materials and small production needs as participants make and shape their stories.
Larger access needs
Pooled support towards larger access and participation needs, so more people can take part on equal terms.
Illustrative examples only. All support is pooled across participant-facing Common Ground delivery and is not ring-fenced to a named cost, participant or outcome.
