Over the past couple of months John Popham and I have developed this blog as part of our work with the Big Lottery Fund, exploring the future of their People Powered Change initiative. The initial brief is here. Thanks to those we have interviewed, and to our guest bloggers, James Derounian, and Noel Hatch.
