We think action to improve lives does not have to be expensive, divisive, top-down or innovative - just copy what already works elsewhere.

Lives can be improved just by copying what already works elsewhere (with adjustments to local circumstances). Some of the ideas you may know, others will be new to you BUT you have never seen them together in a single catalogue.
