  • Overview of Allocated Funding
    Overview of allocated funding A combined total of £979,625 has been awarded to 116 community groups and workplaces through the Cycling Friendly programme with a further £821,991 awarded to registered social landlords across Scotland for improvement facilities to promote walking and cycling. More than 90,000 people will benefit from the funding. Setting Number funded Amount funded People impacted Community groups 48 £536,737 Data not collected Employers 68 £442,888 27,500 Social housing 33 £821,991 62,119 providers Total 149 £1,801,616 89,619 Kath Brough, Head of Behaviour Change at Cycling Scotland said: “We’re delighted to announce funding to 149 organisations across Scotland to encourage more people to cycle. Cycling Scotland work closely with partners to help employers, community groups and housing associations take advantage of the benefits of cycling and this round of funding will provide opportunity for over 90,000 people across Scotland to access improved cycling facilities.” Elderbank Housing Association, based in Govan, Glasgow, will receive £25,000 to install cycle parking for the 2,700 residents living across their properties, where currently there is no cycle parking. Jim Fraser, Estate Management Inspector, said “lack of storage has been a key issue for residents, especially those in older tenement buildings, so installing bike parking will remove a significant barrier to the uptake in bike ownership and cycling as a healthy activity. Govan is well established as an area of high deprivation and residents can often be found to have low household income and higher levels of household debt. This can impact greatly on people’s ability to access public transport beyond a limited geographical area and frequency due to a lack of sufficient finance.

  • Thriving Places Lay Report
    Lay Report A sense of belonging at Thriving Places: Participant experiences of belonging at the Barrowfield Ball in Glasgow Linda Butterfield (University of Glasgow) in collaboration with Parkhead, Dalmarnock and Camlachie Thriving Place. Introduction This report provides a summary of a 2017 study conducted as part of a Masters degree in Equality and Human Rights at the University of Glasgow. The study was conducted in collaboration with Thriving Places, a ten-year community programme aiming to improve outcomes for those living in areas of persistent multiple deprivation. The programme, delivered by Glasgow Community Planning Partnership, operates in nine areas of the city. The focus for this study was The Barrowfield Ball initiated by the Parkhead, Dalmarnock and Camlachie branch of Thriving Places in 2014. The Barrowfield Ball takes place weekly. It is free to attend and involves a few rounds of Bingo, followed by dancing and refreshments. Since it started, the ball has attracted more and more people and now over 70 people attend regularly coming from different parts of the city. I wanted to understand why this ball is so popular and whether or not attendees feel a sense of belonging at the event. In doing so, I hoped to discover how that sense of belonging happens as well as the impact it might have on the lives of those who attend. Belonging means different things to different people and I wanted to learn about this using the following five research objectives: 1.
