Hello, I’m really happy to join the team as a Community Development Worker. I have been working in the charity sector in Edinburgh for 6 years. I am looking forward to bringing my experience and interest in creative arts, holistic therapies, nature and the environment to create new activities. See you soon!

Alicja’s role is directly tied to improving the lives of others through the accumulation of social wealth. Alicja feels one of the positives of working for B healthy together is the overwhelming sense of driving change, allowing her not only to build strong ties with her community but to interact with different kinds of people, each one with a story to tell.
