The Skilled Workers, Skilled Citizens initiative kicked off in February 2013. Interest in our work has been growing fast.

See a recent blog about this here: http://khub.net/web/nick.wilding/blog/-/blogs/11632626.

Our next Reference Group meeting is the place to be to connect into our fast growing network and to shape our work together as ‘disruptive innovators’ right across the public services during 2014. The icing on the cake is the opportunity to engage as critical friends with the team at Total Neighbourhood East Edinburgh (a new pioneer site) – a place-based initiative that is shaking up existing structures and cultures of working.
