It was great to be in Irvine this week to hear from.@North_Ayrshire and partners how #CommunityWealthBuilding is being delivered. On the new Bill, we heard that for it to succeed it must deliver the tools & resources that local areas need. 🔊 Convener @colinsmythmsp says more.

⏪ Last week we heard evidence that the #CommunityWealthBuilding Bill was necessary. ⏩ In this week’s session, Dr Emilia Crighton of @NHSGGC said a "coalescence of agendas" was needed to avoid duplicating work through existing structures like community planning partnerships.
