Having a city centre office doesn't prevent my daily routine of spending some time in nature walking and reflecting. The #WaterOfLeith is one of my favourites. What do you do to get some head space on busy days? #entrepreneurship #MentalHealth #edinburgh

It's now less than a month until our Changeworks Connects conference and only a handful of tickets remaining! Have you been thinking of booking? Do it now or you'll miss out.
Only one month to go until Changeworks Connects 2025!

This is a great opportunity for those who want to join the conversation with cross-sector experts on how to unlock the barriers to scale domestic retrofit in Scotland.
