These people want to breathe new life in to unused places and spaces - and that new life will create thousands of opportunities for aspirant entrepreneurs. Innovation is everywhere; it’s on the ground and in local communities. It’s not the preserve of universities and academics and agencies. It comes from people who have detailed market knowledge, technical ability and energy – in other words, local people. They are “can do” people.

Annette’s idea was to create a community initiative that focused on reducing poverty and unemployment, through the provision of tailored employability and training support services designed to improve people’s life chances and choices. With this in mind, the name for Community Focus Scotland CIC was formed.

Let's hear what award winning Annette has to tell us and what her top tips are.

The way to energise innovation and spirit is to inject the drive found in community superheroes. This is exactly what has happened in Penzance.

With a growing number of people working on their own, work hubs are popping up all over the country. We have been speaking to one of the pioneers to find out why it is so important to provide great environments to those who don’t have a ‘proper’ office to go to.

Meet Tim Dwelly who has opened the ‘Workbox’ in Penzance and Truro in Cornwall.  Workbox Penzance was the first Workbox in Cornwall. It’s a purpose-designed workhub on the Penzance waterfront, a space where you can rent an office or worktop to run your business without paying over-the-odds.

The way to energise innovation and spirit is to inject the drive found in community superheroes. This is exactly what has happened in Penzance.

With a growing number of people working on their own, work hubs are popping up all over the country. We have been speaking to one of the pioneers to find out why it is so important to provide great environments to those who don’t have a ‘proper’ office to go to.

Meet Tim Dwelly who has opened the ‘Workbox’ in Penzance and Truro in Cornwall.  Workbox Penzance was the first Workbox in Cornwall. It’s a purpose-designed workhub on the Penzance waterfront, a space where you can rent an office or worktop to run your business without paying over-the-odds.

Listen to the full podcast now.

"The difference with a co working space and a Can Do space, is the word “can” – it is so much more than a desk in a space. That was the eye opener, the catalyst, and I thought Wow this is a great idea!

I thought actually this would be awesome if we had one of these in every military base around the UK. How amazing and transformational that would be.

It was the spark that lit a flame."

At this event she met Iain Scott and that meeting galvanised the idea that artists need co working spaces and that there were other people in Scotland who were on the same wavelength as her, including a national group that were driving the idea of collaboration forward. She felt there was help there to make her passion come to fruition.

Aisla Campbell told us:

“We discovered that there were a lot of people in the area working from themselves at home, feeling isolated.  We learnt about co working from being part of the Can Do Places project. We did some investigating and we found that there was definitely a market for co working in Crieff.

“It is our belief by creating a space in the area where people can work together, they will strengthen their businesses and we can hopefully help other people start businesses up too.

And bring people back into the town. We will be creating increasing footfall for Crieff.”
