Gather insights from lived experience
Your supporters have a wealth of lived experience - use it to gain real world insight into how an issue affects them. For example, a disability charity might ask supporters about their experience of discrimination in the workplace, and use the results to support their calls for change. It’s important to have a clear reason you’re asking for supporters for personal information, a plan for what you’re going to do with it, and if appropriate, support in place for people who share stories or problems.
