It has been a busy time recently but always great to help promote #CommunityWealthBuilding with events and meetings in York, Glasgow and one of the most forward thinking UK trade unions @CWUnews.
"Increasingly, the much-needed innovation & creativity for a net zero future is coming not from national policy but from locally based action."
This excellent report from @CLESthinkdo highlights challenges to taking local climate action & recommendations to overcome these
I'm delighted to share my first blog for @CLESthinkdo reflecting on my first few months in post, my discussions at the @TSIScotNet conference last week and the need to ensure local communities are at the heart of community wealth building
Heading home after a fascinating weekend at @Scotonomics1 The insightful discussion, varied topics & generous speakers were a delight - my head is buzzing! I was honoured to play a small part & talk about #communitywealthbuilding for @CLESthinkdo with @nmcinroy & John Alexander.
Some brilliant and challenging contributions from our panel - responding to our new report on gender equality skilfully chaired by @Zubhaque@SarahTulip

#Womenswork
The newly published research from @CLESthinkdo@WomensBudgetGrp & @LeedsCC_News is sobering stuff. The barriers to paid work encountered by women in Leeds has risen by 7% in the last year. This has huge economic & social impact. It's time to rewire the economy around inclusivity!
Looking forward to speaking at this year’s

@LNER That's fab, thank you. I'm booked onto the 2.52 from Aberdeen down to Edinburgh. But would need to leave at 11.30 to get to Aberdeen in time for the train. Should I just keep an eye on the updates in the morning?
As our climate changes and inequality grows. Now, more than ever we need a true shift to a wellbeing economy. Not just changing metrics and paying lip service.
Instead, we need to radically reprioritise how our economy works for people and planet.
Great to collaborate with @mmbuchs on this paper exploring wellbeing economics. Looking at narrative differences between @WEAll_Alliance & the Wellbeing Governments. Exploring some barriers faced by the WeGos in their implementation of a wellbeing economy https://t.co/Z6vLxuOFwi
