Inside Iriss

If you’re familiar with Iriss work, you will know that we have had projects running for a year in three thematic areas - Space to Practice, Day-to-Day Dignity and Foundations for Change. Last week, we ran an Ideas Lab event, that brought together new organisations and teams that had submitted an expression of interest in working with us as partners in 2024/2025.

Iriss was delighted to host the in-person ASPire conference on the 22nd of February 2024 on behalf of the National Adult Support and Protection Coordinator and the Learning and Development Network. 100 of you lovelies gathered at The Barracks Conference Centre in Stirling to learn and chat about Sextortion, Undue Pressure and Learning Reviews.  

Today is a big day for me, my last day working at Iriss. I wanted to spend some time reflecting on my journey with the organisation. I joined Iriss in 2016, when I had just graduated from my master's in Visual Communication, and I was full of naive enthusiasm for making change through design. I joined the team to support the delivery of a large-scale co-production project called Pilotlight.
