Liverpudlian David Clarke gave away £100,000 to local beneficiaries, but he allowed strangers to decide where to direct it in a project called @wealth__shared.

These 12 strangers met for 8 hours to debate how to use the money.

Here's what happened. ⬇️

This @BigIssue article links Wealth Shared with participatory budgeting, where community members decide how government money is spent.

"It’s about giving participants a “sense of meaning” within their community."

There are almost no limits on what they can decide. The money could go to any cause, from animal rights, to environmental protection to medical research. It could even be distributed as payments to individuals. The beneficiaries can be local, national, or international.
