A LEGACY
CN and Visit Scotland detail four organisations making a difference in the home nation
t ’ s no longer enough for an event to exist in a vacuum , organisers must consider the wider and lasting impact of their events . Finding a way to offset the carbon or do some good alongside an event goes a long way to creating a lasting legacy .
With sustainability taking pride of place in many an event organiser ’ s aims for 2022 , Visit Scotland explores new ways to experience the destination , from corporate getaways and city tours to charity work and conservation .
Invisible Cities
Tackling poverty and social inclusion , Invisible Cities is a social enterprise that helps to integrate people who have experienced homelessness back into the community as tour guides . Each guide creates their own tour which features iconic landmarks and people of the city .
Compelling tales are shared with themes such as crime and punishment , real women of Edinburgh and The Royal Mile . It is a unique opportunity to discover alternative perspectives of Glasgow and Edinburgh .
As well as learning about these beautiful cities the tours raise awareness about homelessness and aims to change perceptions and break down the stigma that exists . l To find out more about Invisible Cities visit www . invisible-cities . org

Trees for Life
Over the past 28 years Trees for Life has been rewilding the Scottish Highlands . The charity ’ s vision is of a revitalised wild forest , providing space for wildlife to flourish and communities to thrive . In the 1950s only 1 % of the Caledonian forest remained . Restoring it helps reduce the impact of climate change by storing carbon , preventing flooding and also supports the sustainability of rural communities , providing a stunning region for people to enjoy .
There has never been a more important time for businesses to show real leadership and give back to nature . Trees for Life offer a range of partnership options where organisations can help support the forest ’ s recovery . www . conference-news . co . uk
