How impact spreads

Six steps. Each one visible, each one somebody's decision.

1. Someone needs help

   Asking is where it starts. A need is content in its own right, never the lesser half of the story.

2. Someone helps

   One person offers what they actually have: time, knowledge, a lift, a spare room.

3. Impact happens

   What changed is written down plainly — and only as far as the people involved agreed.

4. It is recognised

   The person who was helped confirms it. Standing here is given by others, not claimed.

5. Others find it

   Impact is discoverable by place, cause and community. Not by popularity.

6. It is replicated

   Somebody does the same thing somewhere else. That is the whole point.
