Stories
Stories from inside the system.
Coming soon… Somewhat ironically the examples below are currently auto-generated placeholders.
But the idea is that you’ll be able to share stories and examples of where you were treated with compassion, or weren’t. Guidelines will be provided, no naming individuals or companies, this isn’t a blaming and shaming exercise. It’s not act as inspiration and provide examples as to the small things that made a difference, for good or less so.
Good idea, or not? Let us know what you think hello@peoplearenotresources.org
