Community Action Pod Episode 7: Community Glue PART 1


Listen Later

For the first part of a two-part episode, we’re focusing on what makes a healthy community, how do we even measure one and when does a community benefit from a helping hand?

Richard Holmes is our expert voice in the room. An experienced thought-leader, coach and practitioner in Asset-Based Community Development, he specialises in co-creating community solutions. Rich heads up the consultancy called Go Together and is a Director at the ABCD Institute in Chicago. Rich has over 20 years of experience in the non-profit social sector and we had a fascinating conversation with him which we’d love to share with you.
