Community Wealth Building: Centre for Excellence

We are working with the Scottish Government, to support the growth of community wealth building across Scotland.  The Centre for excellence is a central hub providing information, learning, sharing, support and guidance for the Community Wealth Building movement.

Over the coming months we will be adding to our regular podcast series with a Community Wealth Building mini series. Use the links below to listen on podbean or spotify.
