3. Build inclusion and flexibility into every stage

Inclusion can’t be an add-on; it has to be designed in from the start.

Quote "I’m a grateful volunteer, as opposed to a grateful service user, so, in a way, I got a promotion. A few years ago, I got a British Citizens Award for services to the community." - Ken, volunteer and founder of Brixton Cycling Club
