North Ayrshire: A Case Study on Kindness

This report tells the story of that two-year journey and reflects on challenges and learning, particularly over the last 6 months.

It finishes with five priorities for sustaining and developing kindness, which we hope will feel relevant and urgent not just for North Ayrshire, but for local government everywhere.
