In this unit we have looked at the tactics you can use to help achieve the change you want to see and the personal steps you can take to prepare yourself for action. We hope you have been inspired by the stories of others and the steps they are taking.

You have thought about the assumptions you are making about the activities and tactics you will use and how to identify and deal with potential risks. Also, you began to put a plan to achieve change in place. It is an important first step.

So, as you move forward you may need some words of encouragement from the great Nelson Mandela:

‘It always seems impossible until it’s done’

and

‘Action without vision is only passing time, vision without action is merely day dreaming, but vision with action can change the world’.
