An image showing a female figure, bottom left, looking up towards a mountain with a series of steps on it and a flag planted on the summit. She is raising her binoculars and looking towards the summit above which is a bright sun. The figure is wearing a purple jacket and there are green bushes and trees at the base of the mountain. The mountain is grey, with blue / grey silhouettes of further mountain ranges in the distance and a purple-coloured sun. Top left is the message ‘Every journey starts with a single step’ and at the bottom is the logo for the Coalition of Care and Support Providers in Scotland (CCPS). The image introduces the theme of CCPS’s Fair Work campaign, which will be launching on 29 June.
