Charities are moving from the era of scale to the era of impact.
It's time for charities to focus on 'asset-based thinking': shifting from what's wrong to what's strong, focusing on the capacities, skills and assets of people and communities.

Meeting as equals includes examples of charities making this happen, and a guide to the steps you can take to make your charity asset-based.
