Reader feedback

"An excellent production. Right down to the actual feel of the paper copy, it felt high-quality. The organisation of text and images on the page was coherent and accessible. The imagery itself was good, and I liked the partnership with the college students in procuring these. The articles were relevant and well-edited, with a good spread of topics. It’s rare that I read such publications cover to cover, but I did with this one." - Ben Farrugia, Director, Social Work Scotland

"What a cracking job you’ve done of it! I love the use of illustrations throughout. Brilliant range of topics covered and range of reporting styles too. Particularly liked the book review and the detailed policy focus on a live bill. Thanks again for sharing and well done on such a fantastic new format." - Gina Wilson, Head of Strategy, Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland

"Definitely the kind of magazine you want to sit down with and enjoy over a cuppa!" - Sarah Leary, Communications Manager, Starcatchers

"I am excited by the content of your magazine and feel it will be a valuable resource for me moving forward, in fact it has already introduced me to projects in my area and beyond that I had no awareness of. I enjoyed the entire magazine and found it easy to read, interesting and informative." - Sharlene Higgins, Individual Member
