Referees for, and support with, the fellowship application My application was assisted by references from Professor Sir Peter Hall, lecturer in Urban Regeneration and Planning at the Bartlett School of Planning and Architecture, University College London and from Dr. Miatta Fahnbulleh, head of the Cities Policy Unit in the Cabinet Office (U.K. Central Government). Almudena Lara, head of the Social Action Team in the Office for Civil Society (part of the Cabinet Office) was very supportive in helping me secure the career break to undertake the fellowship. Katie Lee of the Department of Communities and Local Government (CLG) outlined CLG’s work on supporting community assets. Family My parents, Dr. GR (Dick) Potts and Mrs. Elsie Potts, (or Mum and Dad as they sometimes allow me to refer to them), both made very useful inputs to the application and offered encouragement throughout. And last, but most importantly, my wife, Dekonti Mends-Cole, gave incredible support and insight throughout the whole process, including comments on several drafts. Disclaimers Those interviewed for this work have all had the chance to comment on a final draft. Everyone was emailed twice and, in a few cases, called to see that the draft had been received. The final interpretations are my own and do not necessarily represent those of the interviewees, the German Marshall Fund, or any other people or organizations acknowledged here. The fellowship was applied for whilst I worked as a civil servant in U.K. central government and almost all of it was conducted whilst on a short unpaid career break from that post. However, the application was a personal one, the research in no way constituted or constitutes a project by a current civil servant, and the final output (this toolkit) does not in any way necessarily reflect the views of the government.
