Could village halls and community spaces in Scotland become a connected network of local coworking and community hubs?

Join this free online session exploring inspiring examples of flexible workspaces, digital access, and community services — alongside honest discussion about the challenges communities face, from cost and connectivity to capacity.

We’ll also look at practical next steps and small-scale pilot ideas that can help develop local hubs without major infrastructure demands.
