Explains how the Revolving Doors Agency, the UK's leading charity concerned with mental health and the criminal justice system, has succeeded in involving its clients as volunteers. Clients could be described as the archetypal 'difficult to engage' group: all have been arrested or imprisoned and have some form of mental health problem, most have a drug or alcohol problem and many have had experience of sleeping rough. But concerted efforts have put users at the centre of the agency's work and all are reaping the benefits.
