#15 Angela Fell - Northern Heart & Soul

Angela Fell talks to host Pete Burden about moving from a service-based, charity-type model to mutual support in and by communities themselves. How to actually move to 'asset-based community development', what that involves, and her journey stepping outside the ‘system’ to do this.

Angela covers her experience of growing up in a working class environment in the North of the UK, especially as a woman. About trying to bring about change with people labelled as 'in need', first from a service perspective. Her emerging understanding that the systems involved can inadvertently preserve the status quo. Through trying to implement the ‘Radical Help’ approach back in 2011, and the transition to building the ‘collective power muscle’ of communities. And about her belief in keeping things small and agile.
