The Four Leaf Clover Club — struggles and successes of a user‐led organisation

Abstract

User‐led organisations are increasingly providing services themselves, but it is not always easy to overcome the barriers of bureaucracy and officialdom when you are inexperienced in project development. This is the story of the trials, tribulations and eventual success of a group of users in rural Dorset, who are keen to use their newly acquired experience for the benefit of others who may want to do the same.
