It is primarily for internal use and we review and update it annually. It is approved by the Board prior to the start of each financial year. In developing this plan, we have taken account of business planning guidance published by the Scottish Housing Regulator (Dec 2015). PURPOSE OF OUR BUSINESS PLAN The purpose of the business plan is to: help us to understand the opportunities and threats inherent in our operating environment as well as our own internal strengths and weaknesses; clarify and communicate our strategic objectives and priorities and set out the key actions we will take to achieve these objectives; demonstrate that we have the resources necessary to carry out these actions and help us to identify and mitigate any risks we face in delivering these actions; provide a strategic overview for our other strategies and plans; and provide a framework with which we can monitor our progress and measure our success. OUR BUSINESS PLANNING PROCESS We reviewed and strengthened our business planning process in 2016 and introduced a new protocol which sets out the key steps we take to prepare our business plan. They are: business planning timetable is agreed data is collected and strategic analysis undertaken vision, strategic direction and objectives are reviewed action plan for the years ahead is developed financial and resource plans are prepared risks are assessed business plan and budget are approved objectives and targets are communicated to staff monitoring and review are embedded. This process is led by our Board, supported by senior staff, and is highly participative ensuring a whole organisation approach. 3 ENGAGING WITH STAKEHOLDERS In preparing (and updating) this business plan, we spoke to several of our key stakeholders and received invaluable feedback from: a focus group of our tenants a focus group of our staff telephone interviews with individual stakeholders (CEOs of neighbouring RSLs and community organisations, local & national politicians, senior government officers and consultants) a comprehensive, independent, tenant satisfaction survey as well as quarterly pulse surveys a joint meeting of the governing bodies of the association and our subsidiary The New Tannahill Centre Ltd initial discussions with the newly formed Ferguslie Community Council informal feedback from residents, not only tenants, at the summer Gala Day. 4 Section 2: About Us OUR STRUCTURE Ferguslie Park Housing Association (FPHA) is an independent community-controlled housing association governed by a volunteer Board, several of whom are our customers. We are a registered social landlord and a society under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014. We are also a registered Scottish Charity and do not distribute our surpluses, but rather, we reinvest these for the benefit of our current and future customers. We currently employ around 15 permanent staff members and a copy of our staff structure can be found in the appendices to this plan. We have one wholly-owned subsidiary, the New Tannahill Centre Ltd. It is also a registered Scottish Charity and is run by a Board of volunteers. Together we form The Ferguslie Group. THE FERGUSLIE GROUP FPHA acts as the parent organisation in The Ferguslie Group of companies. We have a formal intra-group agreement which sets out our relationship with our subsidiary and reinforces our responsibility for overall strategic direction and control for the Group. We each employ our own staff and we also have a service-sharing agreement which allows the subsidiary to draw on our staff in accordance with agreed work plans. Along with our subsidiary, we seek to make a positive contribution to the Group’s core purpose, namely:- To work together to regenerate Ferguslie Park; and To work with partners to channel ideas, action and investment. OUR HISTORY Ferguslie Park was built as a council housing estate, from shortly before the Second World War and expanding until the 1950s. Ferguslie Park became a working class neighbourhood in the west end of Paisley, with residents working mainly in the huge Chrysler car plant in neighbouring Linwood, the nearby Stobo carpet factory and making textiles in the Ferguslie Mills. The demise of the car factory has been commemorated in The Proclaimers' reference to "Linwood no more" in their hit song "Letter from America". Ferguslie had its own artists too. John Byrne lived in Ferguslie Park and his "Slab Boys Trilogy" of plays features rebellious carpet factory workers from the 1950s to the 1970s. The closure of traditional textile and manufacturing industries in the '70s and '80s led to widespread unemployment, poverty and stigma. Even so, Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan had success in the '70s with their band Stealers Wheel and their album covers, including "Ferguslie Park", were designed by John Byrne. Rafferty went on to great commercial success, including with "Baker Street". But Ferguslie Park continued to slide. Renfrewshire Council made many attempts to stem the growing unpopularity of the estate which was almost cut off from the rest of Paisley, intensifying its reputation as a no-go-area. 5 Ferguslie Park Housing Association was established on 1 July 1988 as Dalskeith Housing Cooperative. The Co-op was set up to acquire and improve Renfrewshire Council homes in the Dalskeith area of Ferguslie Park. Westburn Woodvale Housing Association was established later, to build new homes in another part of the estate. In a strategic move to strengthen community ownership, the Co- op changed its structure and its name to FPHA. Westburn Woodvale HA became part of the organisation in November 1993 to form Ferguslie Park Housing Association. This created a single housing association for the whole of Ferguslie Park as part of the widest- ranging strategy to date to regenerate the area. This was the New Life for Urban Scotland programme, in which Ferguslie Park was one of four areas facing deprivation which were identified for a new multi-agency and innovative area-based approach. As FPHA, we were a partner in the Ferguslie Park Partnership; with the community, the council, Scottish Executive, health board and police. Significant progress was made in replacing unpopular council housing with 750 new association homes, improving the 500 remaining popular council homes, introducing over 600 homes for owner occupation and shared ownership, building a new link road and improving the environment. The Tannahill Centre was completed in 1995 and John Byrne opened the new Community Library. It was not an altogether smooth transition. Late in 1994 Paisley suffered extensive and serious flooding. Ferguslie Park, being flat and low lying, experienced the most property damage. 250 homes were flooded; 100 of these so seriously that residents had to move out for around a year while they were repaired. Just before Christmas, this made international news. Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Philip visited Ferguslie Park the following summer to meet people who had been affected and to see the on-going repairs. The flood risk restricted sites for further house building. The association built a pumping station in the lowest part of the area which has protected the homes there from further flooding. From 1996 Ferguslie became part of the Paisley Social Inclusion Partnership. We became a founder member of FLAIR, the federation of local associations in Renfrewshire, set up to foster collaboration in the social inclusion partnership area, benchmarking and wider regeneration activity. FLAIR brought Youthbuild to Scotland – a ground-breaking partnership with Barnardo's supporting unemployed young people into construction apprenticeships in our house building projects. In 2006 we formed a Group with the New Tannahill Centre Ltd as our subsidiary. This was so we could combine our regeneration activities. For 30 years, we have played a key role in the improvement of Ferguslie Park, responding to the needs of the local community and the opportunities available for significant investment into the area. This has involved us in a range of high-profile programmes, many of which were trailblazing but some were ultimately short-lived. Housing has been transformed, there are low levels of crime and there is a strong community spirit. However, it has been much harder to improve health, educational attainment and to tackle poverty. The local primary schools remain well regarded and highly valued in the community but Ferguslie pupils still mostly underachieve at secondary schools.

  • Parents in Partnership Programme Evaluation
    Parents in Partnership Programme Evaluation June 2015 Linda O’Neill Renfrewshire Council and Castlehead High School Introduction Castlehead High School (CHS) applied to the Education Scotland Access to Education Fund for £4800 of funding to implement a parental involvement programme within school. Schools were offered the opportunity to apply for funds which would support learners in a range of areas, one of which was, “enhancing a school’s capacity to deliver parental engagement programmes to support parents to support their children.” The Access to Education Fund was made available to schools to help learners from disadvantaged backgrounds, with the aim being to support schools to reduce barriers to learning experienced by those from the most deprived areas and help improve attainment. Between April 2015 and June 2015 CHS, in conjunction with the Home Link Service, ran a parental involvement programme with the aims of; supporting both parents and children with the transition from primary school to high school, increasing the capacity of parents to support their child’s learning at home, encouraging parental involvement in high school life and raising awareness of support agencies and support strategies available in the community to parents and families. The purpose of this evaluation is to determine if the Parents In Partnership (PIP) programme was successful in meeting these aims and examine recommendations for further implementation of the programme. Organisational Profile Castlehead High School Castlehead High School is a six year non denominational school situated near the centre of Paisley which serves the West End of Paisley, Elderslie and Ferguslie Park. The school roll for this session is 691.

  • 2. Coats and Clark the Binding Thread of Paisley's History
    RLHF Journal Vol.15 (2009) 2. Coats and Clark The Binding Thread of Paisley’s History Valerie Reilly Introduction This article looks at the built legacy of the Coats and Clark Families. Following a summary of the development of the family businesses, it covers their buildings and houses. As there are so many family members involved, they have been numbered for ease of reading. The Clark Family In the late eighteenth century two brothers, Peter (1) (sometimes known as Patrick) and James (2) Clark, both lived and worked in Paisley as weavers' furnishers providing items needed by the weaving population such as heddles, reeds and shuttles, as well as manufacturing the twine used to make the heddles 1. Around 1806 the weaving business was hit by Napoleon's Berlin Decree which banned exports to Britain from the continent, greatly hampering the movement of the silk required to produce heddles. It seems to have been this situation that prompted Peter Clark to experiment with producing heddles of cotton rather than silk. He and his brother made a success of this venture and soon James Clark junior (3), who had been selling linen thread for domestic sewing purposes, began to recommend his father's cotton thread as a better product. Demand for the cotton thread soon increased and James (3) had the novel idea of selling the thread wound onto bobbins instead of in the original hanks. If the customer so desired, James would - for the price of a halfpenny - wind the thread onto a bobbin. The halfpenny was refundable if the bobbin was returned.

  • Scottish Premier League; Res: 0-1; Att: 6,747 (360 Away); Admission: £10; Programme: £2.50 (56Pp); FGIF Match Rating: ***
    TT0809-236 TT No.236: Andy Gallon - Sat 23rd May 2009; St Mirren v Hamilton Accies; Scottish Premier League; Res: 0-1; Att: 6,747 (360 away); Admission: £10; Programme: £2.50 (56pp); FGIF Match Rating: ***. I'm clearly never destined to see Paisley at its best. My only other visit to the old cloth-producing town, in November 1989, for a game at St Mirren's old Love Street ground, took place amid a storm which did not let up for a split second. I went by train, and clearly remember dodging from one shop doorway to the next on a sprint from the station in a futile attempt to prevent a real soaking. A dire goalless draw with Hibernian followed. This trip, to see the club's 8,029-seat new stadium in Greenhill Road, was spoiled by similarly lousy weather. Dreech, the Scots call it. You don't expect it in May, even north of the border, but it proved entirely appropriate - a grey day for a grey ground. You may be surprised to hear Love Street, barely a mile from the new stadium, hasn't yet been demolished. A retail giant (let's not given them a free advert, eh?) bought the site for a reported £15m to build a supermarket, but has since earmarked another plot of land in the town it appears to like rather better. Buddies fans believe their old home will end up as housing, though exactly when the bulldozers are moving in is difficult to say. Shrouded in murk and drizzle, Love Street, a padlocked picture of dereliction and decay, presents a sad sight.
