LEx Scotland CIC
At LEx Scotland, we are passionate about empowering people from diverse backgrounds and cultures with lived experience of social injustice and marginalisation. We are committed to finding innovative and radical approaches for co-creating transformative change.
Why we exist
Lived Experience Leadership is crucial for bringing about meaningful change, which is why it is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that everyone has the right to be involved in decision-making processes that affect their lives. We recognise that lived expertise is a vital leadership skill and should be valued alongside professional expertise. This means not only listening to lived experience voices, but also providing the support for people with lived experience to develop leadership skills and have the opportunity to take on leadership roles in organisations, communities, and public life.
How we work
Our model offers a real and practical way forward for tackling issues of marginalisation and empowerment. We are part of the growing Lived Experience movement, building spaces and networks that foster collaboration and leadership driven by lived experience voices. Our innovative approach focuses on co-production and collaborative methods. By recognising intersectional identities and challenges, we value the unique lived expertise of everyone we work with by centring lived experience voices and lived experience-led decision making.
What we do
We work with organisations and public bodies through our consultancy services to help them co-create strategies, policies and learning and development programmes, always putting lived expertise at the centre. Our unique collaborative approach enables us to meet the specific needs of our partners. We also work with organisations to help them develop sustainable ways of embedding lived expertise and lived experience engagement in their work.
