Intersectional Network Of community and stakeholder Voices, And research to Tackle (in)Equities (INNOVATE) in mental health and well-being is a project funded by AHRC - UKRI.

INNOVATE is a consortium that catalyses multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder dialogue, research, and practice that deepens intersectional analysis and its application to drive a new transformative research and praxis agenda for health and social care while prioritising engagement of underserved population groups.

The consortium will produce new ways to consider health inequality challenges, drawing on leading-edge intersectional analysis, and offer grounded insights, practical tools and innovative approaches to build capabilities, and foster resilient systems and healthy communities.

Organise Now! is a peer to peer network established by BFAWU (the Bakers, Food, and Allied Workers Union), Strike Map, and Notes from Below. It connects people who want to try and change their working conditions with more experienced people for the trade union movement and other campaigning organisations.

The project is hosted through an online platform and has had hundreds of volunteers sign up since the launch in August 2022. However, there is little funding to support the early phase of the project. A grant could accelerate the process by providing support for outreach and website costs.

This project has the potential to shed new light into two important areas: first, what are the issues that low-paid and precarious workers face - and how can they address these? Second, what new forms of organisation can support collective self-organisation?

Through engaging with partners in the Organise Now! project, these questions can be collectively explored, as well as generating meaningful impact.
