Looking forward to chairing a great two days with @homelessnetscot at their annual conference in sunny Perth. Lots of stories, planning and insights to be shared as Scotland faces a Housing Emergency #RightHereRightNow
Itโs been my privilege to help tell the @HarmenyEd story over the last 4 years. This article frames the story so well - how can others learn about how to nourish and nurture young people who have been impacted by trauma in their lives? #traumainformed #traumaresponsive
New long read: a wonderful insight into Scotlandโs national school for children with complex social, emotional and behavioural needs - and how the principles of what it does might be applied elsewhere.

Brilliant to spend a day facilitating with this fabulous team @CYCJScotland who gave themselves some time and space to start planning how they move forward together - and celebrate who they are and what they have done so far. Thanks for inviting me along! #StarTeam

Good morning Glasgow. Always good to return to my home town, especially to help facilitate the conversations of fantastic people who make lives better for refugees in Scotland @homelessnetscot @turningpointsco @RefugeesAtHome @scotrefcouncil @SimonCommScot
The thing about stories is that they are true. This may not be a real TV show, but its an absolutely factual tale. What do you know about human rights and how they are being lived here in the UK?
Well done to @AmnestyUK for telling this story.

One of the joys of being a facilitator is to accompany teams as they discuss what it is to connect, communicate and care together. It was my privilege to hold space for the fab members of the board of @whocaresscot this weekend and so nice to get such lovely feedback today. โค๏ธ

At #TheGathering today, representing @HouseofHopeScot with Founder, Lisa Fleming. Weโre one of Scotlandโs newest charities, so it was a great way to connect with sector.
Lots of interesting speakers. My fave was @HeartInMouthOrg session on process of storytelling.
