Abstract

In 2023-24 I led a small Participatory Action Research project with Bonny Downs Community Association, curating stories of the devastating impact of No Recourse to Public Funding (NRPF) in one community in East London. NRPF restricts migrant access to Universal Credit, Housing Benefit, Child Benefit, Working Tax Credit, Disability Allowance or Income-Based Job Seekers’ Allowance. The original title of the pilot project was ‘Object Lessons’. It was originally hoped that simple photos of objects would help tell the stories of life on “No Recourse”. The plan was that these self-directed images would form a simple slideshow with spoken participants words providing an anonymous voiceover. This planned output did not happen. And so, the final film is, in and of itself, an object lesson. It is an artifact representing a valuable partnership between myself as a researcher, the members of Family Hub, a local charity and wider statutory and third sector stakeholders. The film demonstrates some of the challenges and potentials of co-produced Participatory Action Research. It illustrates how research funding and the need to develop impact shape research outputs. It also demonstrates how a participant owns her own story and decides how it needs to be told
