Deciding Matters

Deciding Matters is a small, independent, participatory democracy organisation supporting governments, communities and people to re-think power and shape the decisions that will impact them.

We do this by running events, processes and workshops that bring policy-makers, experts and ‘typical’ decision makers together with the public and those affected. We are neutral and apolitical, working collaboratively to support inclusive and accessible deliberation. We advocate for longevity, sustainability, and accountability.

We are currently led the NFCA Community Inclusion Standard workstream between September 2023 - March 2024. And authored, following a co-design process the Community Inclusion Best Practice Guide.
