A number of applicants were new organisations that had formed to request funding for their idea. After much delib- eration, and some applicants being asked to provide supplementary information, the panel agreed that all applications should go to a pub- lic vote as all had merit. A process of online voting and an open public voting event was set up by the panel in liaison with Glasgow City Council and widely publicised. The panel had decided at the start that all those resident in the ward over the age of eight could vote. Each person had up to five votes (using local postcode recognition to prevent anyone from outside the ward voting). Over a thousand people voted (5 per cent of those eligible).

  • 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.

The aim of this project was to find hidden pieces of glass that perhaps not many folk know about and bring them to a wider audience along with accompanying stories from the people who told us about their glass finds. Here is the result; the Glass Stories Trail. It is a circular route and you can start the trail at any point and visit as much or as little of it as you like. There are also suggestions of additional diversions that you can take away from the trail to see other things that, if incorporated into the trail route, would have made it a bit too big to do comfortably.

  • Dr Anne Mullen, Chair, Deep End Group Scotland
    SSC/S5/19/BTU/57 SOCIAL SECURTIY COMMITTEE BENEFIT TAKE-UP SUBMISSION FROM: DR ANNE MULLEN, CHAIR, DEEP END GROUP SCOTLAND DEEP END MONEY ADVICE PROJECT BACKGROUND For 2014/15, Glasgow Calton was judged to be the worst affected ward in the UK by welfare reform; an estimated £880 a year per working age adult was to be removed from the local economy, largely due to changes in incapacity benefits1. Since then, the four year benefit freeze has reduced the real-terms value of most working-age benefits, and the two- child limit has denied entitlement to thousands of families. THE PROJECT Since December 2015, the Deep End Money Advice Project has gradually embedded the delivery of money advice in 17 Deep End GP Practices in North East Glasgow. Deep End Practices serve the most socio-economically deprived populations in Scotland. The majority of the Practices in the Project are in the Glasgow Calton ward. GEMAP Scotland Ltd. Money Advisors are embedded in Practices in three GP clusters (Parkhead, Bridgeton and Dennistoun) for half a day per Practice per week. Advisors can access patient medical records (with consent) to assist completion of high quality benefit applications / reviews / appeals thus reducing the risk of vulnerable people spending unnecessary, and potentially stressful, time in the system. Typically, money issues raised by patients in GP Practices are more complex than in other settings2. GOVERNANCE The project is managed by the North East Health Improvement Team (Glasgow HSCP) and overseen by an Advisory Group which includes two GPs and representation from the Scottish Deep End Project, Clyde Gateway, Glasgow Centre for Population Health and GEMAP Scotland Ltd.
