Making a Difference is a comprehensive book that aims to foster positive change within communities in England and Wales. It stands out as a practical How-To guide rather than a mere argument for why change is necessary. The author provides a step-by-step roadmap for individuals who wish to establish a project or introduce a service that will positively impact vulnerable or excluded people, regardless of age, within their local communities. Importantly, the project or service must be sustainable over an extended period. Drawing on extensive experience in the charity sector, the author elucidates each stage of the process in clear and precise detail. The reader will gain valuable insights into identifying the need for the project, outlining its scope, and developing effective strategies for approaching it. The book also addresses potential challenges and offers strategies for overcoming them. An example of a project that runs throughout the book serves as a practical illustration of how each stage can be applied to real-life scenarios. Furthermore, the book is filled with reassuring advice and valuable insights into the workings of the Third Sector, making it an indispensable guide for anyone seeking to make a positive difference in the world.
