Your Gowkthrapple Participatory Budgeting Summer 2021
What is Participatory budgeting?
Participatory budgeting (PB) is a form of people participation in which people are involved in the process of deciding how money is spent locally.
These projects can be big or small and we are hosting our own small PB project here in Gowkthrapple.
