Place based work in Scotland

We bring leaders from business, the voluntary sector and the local council together in a place and work with them to build and deliver a vision for their future that serves everyone, with input from everyone.

We have project focuses starting in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Kirkcaldy with community themes on Health and Wellbeing, Social Mobility in action and Just Transition over the next few years.
