“ It was very much focused on the things I am interesting in unpicking: social justice, climate, society and the bigger influences on wellbeing and creativity. The conversations have been swimming around my head ever since and I really feel these broader, bigger conversations are so crucial for us going forward. It made me think big impact, long term!”Delegate, A Culture of Care, CHWA 2021 national conference
