Everyone needs someone to talk to, as we are creatures of social reciprocation. Some need solitude, but ultimately it all comes back to relationships. With ourselves, and with each other. It’s why for me inclusion is the antidote to adversity. Are you including the excluded?

MD of Tigers Group, Pauline Scott 🍊💜, and chair for today, kicking off today's event by sharing an insight into how we came up with the concept and vision of 'the close community' #reflection #connection #close #community 💚🧡💜

Not a dry eye in the room at #TigersCC event as John Carnochan💜 reflects on a tragic incident whilst he was still in the police force, and actions they took, that reminded the professionals around the room that day what it means to be a good human being. #family #close #community

Listening to Nikki Black at #TheCloseCommunity , I am struck in her slides by the presence & impact of the Quote Badges from each ACE-Aware Nation Event. They are mere tokens, but they spark courage in Scotland. #Touchstones

Speaker Nikki Black talking about the importance of having that significant person in your life who champions you. We applaud your teacher, Mr Corrigan 👏 #Inspiring #Compassionate #Authentic & #Nurturing #TigersTCC 🧡

Great to hear Ryan McCuaig talk about when he had his sliding doors moment. Interviewer who saw potential in him, who gave him an opportunity and then became his “work mum”. It’s all about Relationships! 💙

Reflecting on how companies like Tigers Group thrive with a values-based approach front & centre - hearing stories from those who grew up experiencing significant adversity and who have gone on to achieve so much & advocate for others… this is how a healthy society functions …
