Why it matters
The initiative aims to tap into collective intelligence to shape ideas that could address frustrating points, clunky systems, and poor rules. Lewis was inspired to launch the initiative after campaigning to improve the council tax reduction scheme for people with conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
