Thank you @ArchHistDarling We are delighted that these women’s voices and insights - from their work Cumbernauld - have been included. Was a real joy working with the @VADundee team to do this.
Hurrah that @VADundee has included @VoExperience in the Scottish Design galleries in a display on Cumbernauld.
