4 Background In order to ensure a fair and consistent approach to the governance and operation of Local CPPs, the Glasgow Community Planning Partnership has an established governance framework. A copy of the recently updated governance framework was presented to the board at its last meeting for noting. The framework details rules of governance, which set out clear procedures in relation to a broad range of governance issues including: Membership; Appointment/ Role of Chair; Quorum; Frequency of Meetings; Sub groups; and Partnership Support. Copies of the updated governance framework are available from the Partnership & Development team on request or can be downloaded from the Glasgow Community Planning Partnership s web site at the following address 2. Board Membership 2011/12 Members will recall that a report had been presented at the May meeting of the Local CPP board, which approved the membership of the board for 2011/12. Since May the Partnership & Development Team has been notified of some changes to the members and substitutes for some of the nominating partner bodies. This section of the report therefore provides an updated list of the members and substitutes. The nominations received from partner organisations, which require approval are as follows: Member Substitute Nominating Body Ivonne Hamilton Vacant Glasgow Regeneration Agency Alison Campbell Vacant Job Centre Plus Jill MacKay Vacant Voluntary Sector Iain Goodlet Peter O Brien Strathclyde Fire & Rescue Ann Marie Devlin Shirley Watson Housing Sector All of these are new nominations that were made subsequent to the original membership report that was presented to the board in May It is also worth noting that all nominating bodies have been offered the opportunity to nominate both a member and substitute position. In some instances, this offer has not been taken up.

Declaration of Interest Rules The governance framework also includes rules relating to Board members interests. The declaration of interest rules set out criteria for identifying any potential conflicts of interest and the procedures that are in place to minimise the risk of decisionmaking being distorted or being seen to be distorted through conflicts of interest. All board members are expected to adhere to both the letter and spirit of this policy. A register of board members interests is maintained by the Partnership & Development Team on the basis of notifications provided by individual board members. Each board member is expected to ensure that the entries against his/her name in the register are at all times accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date.

19 Item 3 Subject Purpose of report Glasgow s Regeneration Agency (GRA) 16 March 2011 To provide Members with an update on recently completed re-structuring of its Senior and Operational Management Team, and the services delivered by GRA within Glasgow. 1. Introduction Glasgow s Regeneration Agency (GRA) was established in April 2011 with the merger of the five Local Regeneration Agencies that previously worked across the city in Glasgow s most disadvantaged communities. By supporting the development of the skills base (People); business start up and commercial and social enterprise development (Business); and physical regeneration (Place), GRA links the most disadvantaged residents to opportunities and, as an arm s length external organisation (ALEO) of Glasgow City Council, is now firmly established as the lead regeneration agency in the city. To support economic development and regeneration we employ 550 members of staff in various teams and functions, including the provision of: employability services; training and development activity; enterprise support; development and delivery of strategic projects; and pursuit of commercial activities (property and childcare). Each of these teams makes a considerable contribution to our aims. Operating within the city of Glasgow, GRA is committed to working in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders, agencies and organisations to maximise what can be achieved for local communities. 2. Strategic Planning Following a period of merger, consolidation and ongoing development, which was designed to maintain business as usual and ensuring that we continued to meet the expectations of partners, stakeholders and funders and the demands of our customers, we now wish to embark on a period of strategic planning that will define the company s role in Glasgow s economic development landscape and set the company s strategic direction and priorities for the next three years. After a recent tender process we have now commissioned the University of Glasgow Training Employment Research Unit to support with our strategic plan. As a local contractor they have a strong understanding of our local operating environment, national and local government policy, and will be able to assist GRA to develop our strategy, gain support for this strategy from our key stakeholders and compile the associated documentation. It is anticipated that our future Strategic Plan will continue to focus on three key drivers which will facilitate the continued economic development and regeneration of Glasgow: People delivery of an integrated programme of employment and training to support workless residents to move back into the labour market, and to support young people to move into education, training or employment. Business delivery of a number of activities to support the development of the local economy and to develop the business base within the city of Glasgow. Place ongoing activity to develop the local infrastructure and improve the environment of Glasgow.

20 GRA Company Structure and Operational Delivery In order to effectively respond to the needs of the local population, the internal structure at GRA is reflective of the wide range of services available to develop the local workforce, environment and economy. Operationally, the company is divided into four main customer facing services: Employability, Youth Employability & Learning, Enterprise, Business & Economy and Strategic Projects. There is also a Commercial Contracts team which manages our commercial activities mainly within Property and Childcare and a Core Services function, specialising in the back-of-house areas such as Finance, Human Resources, IT, Marketing, Compliance and Quality. This dynamic structure aims to create the optimum conditions to support clients at each stage of their transition into education, training or employment. Please refer to Appendix A: GRA Organisational Structure 3.1 Employability Services The role of the Employability team is to engage with and support local residents through the various stages of their employability journey into sustained employment and career progression. This service works intensively with individuals to identify their goals and ambitions and support them to remove potential barriers to their progress into education, training, voluntary work and employment. Our experienced staff deliver a range of supports and interventions to increase the employability chances of clients through individualised assessment; action planning; careers guidance and job search. The Employability Team works closely with employers to meet their recruitment needs by preparing local residents for the available opportunities. Support is delivered through a range of mechanisms which address worklessness and the multiple barriers associated with economic inactivity and social exclusion. The employability team is made up of 4 services; employability, bridging services, employer engagement and community benefit. Employability The Employability team provide a front line service from a number or key locations across the city. The team support a wide range of interventions including needs assessment, barrier identification and removal, life coaching, confidence building and CV preparation at all stages the advisers work on a 1:1 basis with clients, taking the time to build a trusting and supportive relationship to help clients progress through their journey into employment (and beyond). Clients supported by the team are often facing multiple barriers to economic activity including money and debt; childcare issues; addictions; health problems; criminal convictions and a lack of skills, experience and qualifications. The team can provide a range of support services and equally importantly can refer clients for more specialist services with external partners as required, for example: access to childcare provision and assistance with funding for childcare costs; referral for money advice; access to funding for training and travel costs. Bridging Services The Bridging Services team engage and support clients who have multiple barriers ranging from health issues and addictions to criminal convictions. The team provides a dedicated advisor led service, supporting clients to identify strengths and develop an awareness of limitations. They provide advice and guidance alongside access to debt advice, confidence building, life coaching, childcare, and training.

21 Employer Engagement The Employer Engagement team have worked closely with employers so that they can offer a tailored approach to the employers recruitment needs. Services provided have included creating job descriptions, advertising vacancies, sifting CV s, pre-screening candidates, then short listing candidates for final interview. The team has built up close working relationships with a wide variety of employers across the city, through an account management approach the team have been able to engage employers, support their recruitment needs, and advise them on a wide range of services that GRA can provide to their organisation. The team work closely with the employability, youth employability, training for work and get ready for work teams to ensure that they can work in partnership to provide the best level of service for both clients and employers. The team also work in direct partnership with Job Centre Plus, Skills Development Scotland, Education Services CAI team to provide access to their employers to these additional services.

Community Benefit Physical Regeneration presents major opportunities within our communities across Glasgow. GRA s aim is be the recognised lead partner across the city encouraging, negotiating, implementing and delivering on commitments from Contractors in major infrastructure projects. Already the Community Benefit team is involved in a wide variety of Community Benefit projects citywide and it is through these projects that GRA and local contractors support local communities through helping people back into work, creating training opportunities, and developing a strong business base. The team specialises in supporting Community Benefit agreements between local agencies and contractors to ensure that communities derive real benefits from public sector investment. The team is also able to support contractors ongoing with the management and delivery of the Community Benefit agreement as well as the necessary monitoring and audit trail. Working in partnership across the other GRA frontline services and other external partners, we are able to provide a targeted recruitment and training service designed to support the needs of existing contractors and those moving into the city to maximise opportunities to our communities 3.2 Youth & Learning Team The Youth & Learning team deliver a range of activities designed to effectively engage with individuals furthest away from the labour market who often face the most complex barriers to making the transition from economic inactivity into education, training and/or employment. The Youth & Learning is made up of 3 services: Youth Employability; Training for Work, Skills & Learning Youth Employability The Youth Employability Team works with young people who are not in education, employment or training, known as the MCMC (More Choices, More Chances) group. The purpose is to deliver direct employability provision, refer to appropriate programmes if required and continue to maintain relationships and inform the progression of the young person through employability support linked into a variety of GRA and partner initiatives, and roll out a suite of services throughout the city based on what works at present and what will work in given locations. The Youth team successfully deliver key programmes to engage with young people in Glasgow and support them into training, education or employment including:

22 Youth Employability Service (YES) The service is delivered as part of Youth Gateway - Glasgow s partnership programme to reduce youth unemployment.

Training for Work Recognising the importance of providing local residents with access to training, qualifications and work experience, our Training for Work Team are responsible for the design and delivery of a range of vocational training programmes. Working closely with employers to identify skills shortages and labour market demand, we have a wide range of programmes offering accredited training and the opportunity for valuable work experience with an employer our courses include:- Business Administration Call Centre Care Construction Retail These programmes are offered on a full or part time basis providing opportunities for clients who have been unemployed for over 6 months. Our skilled and experienced staff work closely with employers, not only to find suitable work placements, but to convert these work placements into full time sustainable job opportunities at the end of the course. The team also have the flexibility to deliver short term sector specific training which has been identified by employer demand. Previously these employer specific training courses have been recruited for in partnership with the employer and led to guaranteed interviews and jobs.

23 Enterprise, Business and Social Economy Team The Enterprise, Business and Social Economy Team has an important role to play in contributing to GRA s Business objective. The team aims to stimulate, grow and develop the local business base, both in terms of private enterprise and social economy organisations, in order to create a culture of entrepreneurialism, attract investment and create local employment opportunities. The Enterprise, Business and Social Economy Team operate within 3 key service teams: Business Enterprise Team work with aspiring and new organisations (from 0-3 years) in order to provide the support necessary to create and sustain local businesses. Through a package of assistance, including support with training, finance, IT, marketing and business planning, this team offer intensive, one-to-one services in order to support fledgling businesses Social Enterprise Team Team work intensely with a caseload of local organisations across the city and is on hand to support and grow the local social enterprise sector throughout the city.

Advisors also conduct organisational reviews and from these they are able to identify areas where additional support is required this can include support in areas such as training, governance, marketing and funding applications. The team also provide support to organisations so that they can access capacity building workshops, and access networking events. Social Economy Team Social Economy organisations which mainly rely on grant funding, make a significant contribution to the overall wellbeing of the city. They provide valued services within their local communities and the social economy team are committed to supporting the sectors. GRA provide a range of services to those organisations which includes the provision of networking opportunities, particularly to encourage sharing of knowledge, assistance with the creation of a self support network, information provision, funding searches and signposting 3.4 Strategic Projects Team The Strategic Projects Team oversees the delivery of a combination of environmental and educational activities designed to contribute to community and improve the environment of Glasgow. There are four programmes of activity which fall under the responsibility of the Strategic Projects Team these are: Environmental Education this programme is delivered in conjunction with physical regeneration projects to ensure that young people of both primary and secondary school age in the communities surrounding the affected area take ownership of the physical enhancements which have been carried out. These activities are delivered in attempt to reduce the instances of vandalism and to include local residents in any of the physical improvements which are carried out. Environmental Employability this programme manages a number of staff who conduct environmental enhancements, including landscaping and clean-ups, on behalf of GHA. The overall aim of the project is to enhance the physical environment which GHA s clients either live in, or are affected by. Environmental Services based on a social economy model, staff working within this programme tender for environmental enhancement contracts to carry out a range of work, including landscaping etc. Environmental Regeneration staff working under this programme support community groups by instigating and arranging environmental improvements within their neighbourhood. The objective of the programme is to facilitate the relationship between community groups and

24 contractors through the provision of support with funding applications, planning applications and project management. Physical Regeneration Team The Physical Regeneration team manages a number of key physical regeneration projects, all of which are designed to develop the local infrastructure, enhance the environment, and generally make the area a better place to live and work. Key Challenges Over the next 3 months GRA faces a number of key challenges not only to ensure that we have an effective Strategic Plan in place which will enable GRA to continue to focus on three key drivers which will facilitate the continued economic development and regeneration of Glasgow: 1. People ensuring the needs of key target client groups are met by providing a wide range of unique and dedicated programmes. This will enable GRA to continue with a client centered service that follows the employability pathway in line with the wider City Strategy and One Glasgow agenda 2. Business ensuring the needs of local businesses and social economy organisations are met by creating and delivering specific support services. This will enable GRA to continue to assist local organisations create local job opportunities, develop business strengths further and ensure longer term sustainability. 3. Place ensuring the needs of the local community are met by continuing to improve the environmental areas within the city. Continued focus remains on developing current and future partnerships with local stakeholders and community groups. Also as Glasgow s Regeneration Agency we face the challenge of ensuring that we have the right people delivering the relevant services within the key locations of the city so that GRA can continue to meet the demand to support economic development and regeneration of Glasgow. Another key challenge as an ALEO of Glasgow City Council is to ensure that GRA meet all necessary governance requirements going forward. Also that GRA continue to operate within the city of Glasgow as the leading regeneration agency, and demonstrate that GRA is committed to working in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders, agencies and organisations to maximise what can be achieved for local communities.

28 Background At the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal Local CPP board in August 2011, a presentation was provided on the results of the neighbourhood management residents survey. One of the issues that continues to feature prominently in local resident s thinking within the Local CPP area is the quality of youth services. Similarly there is evidence which suggests that, in terms of youth service provision, within the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal area there are currently issues relating to: geographical inequity in the present funding; and, potential duplication of provision within some neighbourhoods, whilst other neighbourhoods are currently under-resourced and consequently receive a limited level of service. In addition, the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal Local CPP board also noted that a significant issue to be addressed is that of youth employability, which is recognised as a national, city-wide and local priority. Again, returning to the issue of the neighbourhood management residents survey youth employment and creating jobs for young people was identified as one of the top 3 issues that local residents would wish to change within the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal Local CPP area. 2. Youth Scoping Study In consideration of the above points, the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal Local CPP board decided at its meeting of November 2011 to look into the issue of youth service provision. As a starting point, it was agreed that a scoping study would be progressed by the Partnership & Development Team in conjunction with the Area Senior Officers Group. It was explained at the last meeting that the scoping study would comprise of: An analysis of need / demand within the Local CPP area using a range of data including: - Population information at ward / neighbourhood level; - Scottish index of multiple deprivation; - Community safety data including GCSS and Strathclyde Police s operational and strategic assessments; - School leavers destination statistics; and - Department of Work and Pensions benefit information. Information on the supply of youth services, as provided by: - Glasgow Life; - Glasgow Housing Association; - Glasgow Community & Safety Services; and - North Glasgow Youth Stakeholders Group and other voluntary sector service providers.

29 In order to progress this work, the Partnership & Development Team invited a number of partners to attend an initial meeting on 23 rd January 2011 to discuss the methodology for the scoping study. The membership of the working group comprised of key stakeholders including: Glasgow Life; Glasgow Community & Safety Services; Glasgow Housing Association; the Voluntary Sector; and Strathclyde Police. As part of the 2012/13 Integrated Grants Fund process, the board agreed that as a starting point a condition of grant be attached to the funding awards for those youth service providers who are funded by the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal Local CPP board advising that their future funding will depend upon their participation in the scoping study. Members are reminded that the outcome of the scoping study may have an impact at a later stage on youth service provision that is funded by the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal Local CPP board. This will require further consideration and discussion. A report on the outcome of this work will be presented to the Local CPP board for consideration and comment under agenda item 4 b). 3. Youth Employability Programme In order to address the issue of youth employability, the Local CPP board agreed that 54,622 be set aside from its 2012/13 Integrated Grants Fund allocation for the development and delivery of a youth employability programme. The board is reminded that this figure represented a part year contribution, which would cover an estimated 6 months of the programme running and activity costs. At the meeting in November, the board had requested that information on the format and content of a youth employability programme be presented for consideration and discussion. Accordingly, this item will be presented under agenda item 4 c) by officers from Glasgow s Regeneration Agency, who have experience and knowledge of delivering youth employability programmes in other parts of the city. The presentation will provide the board with an overview of a youth employability programme model which could be adapted to respond to the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal Local CPP context.

Legal: None Personnel: None Service Plan: None Environmental: None Sustainable Procurement and Article 19: None Recommendations: The Local CPP board is asked to: i) Note the contents of the report. ii) Consider the items presented as agenda items 4b) and 4c).

31 Item 4b Glasgow City Council 16 th March 2012 Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal Local CPP Board Report by Executive Director of Corporate Services Contact: Jonathan Brown and Stephen McGill Principal Officers (0141) YOUTH SERVICES ISSUES YOUTH SCOPING STUDY Purpose of Report: The purpose of this paper is to update the Maryhill/Kelvin and Canal (MKC) Local Community Planning Partnership (Local CPP) board on the supply and demand of youth service provision across the Local CPP area. Recommendations: The Local CPP Board is asked to: i) Consider and note the contents of this paper. ii) Approve the 3 month funding awards relating to the North Glasgow Youth Programme, as noted in Appendix 3. iii) Remit the Partnership & Development Team to progress the next stages of the work relating to the North Glasgow Youth Programme as outlined in Section 6 of the report.

32 Background As part of discussions at previous meetings of the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal Local CPP board, members had proposed that work be carried out in relation to the issue of youth service provision. This was driven in response to issues raised by community residents and community planning partners regarding: geographical inequity in the present funding arrangements; and, potential duplication of provision within some neighbourhoods, whilst other neighbourhoods are currently under-resourced and consequently receive a limited level of service. As a starting point, it was agreed that a scoping study would be carried out by the Partnership & Development Team in conjunction with the Area Senior Officers Group. 2. Methodology In order to progress the scoping study, a short-life working group was established comprising of officers from Glasgow Life; Glasgow Community & Safety Services; Glasgow Housing Association; the Voluntary Sector; and Strathclyde Police all of whom are members of the Area Senior Officers Group. It was explained at the last Local CPP board meeting that the scoping study would comprise of: An analysis of need / demand within the Local CPP area using a range of data including: - Population information at ward / neighbourhood level; - Scottish index of multiple deprivation; - Community safety data including GCSS and Strathclyde Police s operational and strategic assessments; - School leavers destination statistics; and - Department of Work and Pensions benefit information. Information on the supply of youth services, as provided by: - Glasgow Life; - Glasgow Housing Association; - Glasgow Community & Safety Services; and - North Glasgow Youth Stakeholders Group and other voluntary sector service providers. The scoping exercise was undertaken in the period between January to March 2012, with a focus on Diversionary Activities and Generic Youth Work targeted at young people aged The definitions for both these types of activities are noted as follows: 2

33 a) Diversionary Work The delivery of activities which not only create a diversion from criminal behaviour, but can facilitate key skills in learning, develop personal and social skills and provide routes into further education and employment, all of which can lead to the propensity not to re-offend or participate in criminal behaviour. b) Generic Youth Work To work with young people in order to facilitate their personal, social and educational development and to enable them to gain a voice, influence and place in society in a period of their transition from dependence to independence. 3. Demand/Needs Analysis As with the planning and delivery of any public service, it is imperative that funding arrangements for youth services are informed by evidence of demand / need, therefore a review has been undertaken of readily available data / information. The analysis in this section of the report focuses specifically on demand / need and has been provided using a range of data sources, as noted previously in section Population Information The latest GROS Small Area Mid-Year Population Estimates published showed that the MKC Local CPP area had a population of 58,118 in 2010, making up 9.8% of the total Glasgow population. The 2010 populations across the five housing neighbourhoods in MKC area are: Lambhill & Milton 12,922 Maryhill Road Corridor 12,489 Ruchill & Possilpark 11,738 North Maryhill & Summerston 11,602 Kelvindale & Kelvinside 9,367 Of this overall population, there are 6,825 (11.7%) children and young people aged between 10 and 19 living within the MKC area. This figure can be further broken down as follows: year olds 3, year olds 3,616 Further analysis of this population is provided within table 1 on the following page. 3

34 Table 1:Children & Young Persons Populations by Housing Neighbourhood in Maryhill Kelvin & Canal Housing Neighbourhood Total s as % of CPP Area 16-19s as % of CPP Area 10-19s as % of CPP Area Kelvindale & Kelvinside % 15.1% 13.9% Lambhill & Milton % 18.9% 23.1% Maryhill Road Corridor % 32.3% 24.1% North Maryhill & Summerston % 18.4% 20.5% Ruchill & Possilpark % 15.3% 18.4% MKC TOTAL % 100.0% 100.0% Table 1 highlights the following points about the population in MKC Local CPP area: The Maryhill Road Corridor housing neighbourhood has the biggest population of year olds this neighbourhood constitutes 24% of all 10-19s living in the MKC area. Lambhill & Milton is the neighbourhood with the 2 nd most year olds - 23% of the MKC area. Kelvindale & Kelvinside is the neighbourhood with the smallest number (14%) of year olds in the MKC area. There is a different population profile between the year old and the year old age groups within the MKC Local area. Among the year old age group, Lambhill & Milton has the largest population (27.8%), with Maryhill Road Corridor the 2 nd lowest (14.9%) among the five neighbourhoods. However, among the year old age group, the percentage within MKC that live in the Maryhill Road Corridor increases to nearly a third (32.3%) which is more than the combined number of year olds living in Ruchill & Possilpark and Kelvindale & Kelvinside. One of the explanations provided for this situation is the existence of student accommodation at Murano Street and other locations which fall within the Maryhill Road Corridor area. 4

35 Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) The SIMD is an index based on a range of parameters (e.g. income, health, housing etc) that provides a relative measure of deprivation between all the data zone 1 areas in Scotland. The following key points should be noted: 58% (40/69) of all data zones in the MKC area are within the worst 15% ranked in Scotland. This is the 2 nd highest number of worst 15% datazones across the 10 Local CPPs in Glasgow. 54.6% (57% in 2006) of the MKC area population are living in the worst 15% data zone areas. This is more than the level for Glasgow where 42% of the population live in worst 15% data zone areas. If you exclude the ten datazones that are in Kelvindale & Kelvinside, none of which are ranked in the worst 15%, the percentage of datazones in MKC ranked in the worst 15% increases to 68%. Of the 40 datazones in MKC ranked in the worst 15%, 24 are ranked in the worst 5%. This number of datazones almost equals the number (26) that are ranked above the worst 20%. The following neighbourhoods within the MKC Local CPP area experience high levels of deprivation: - Ruchill & Possilpark nine of the thirteen datazones in this neighbourhood are ranked among Scotland s worst 5% with three datazones in this area being ranked among the worst 10 datazones in Scotland. - Lambhill & Milton seven of the sixteen datazones are ranked in the worst 5% in Scotland. 3.3 Community Safety data For the purpose of this scoping study, analysts at Glasgow Community & Safety Services have provided a copy of the operational assessment report for the former North Glasgow strategic planning area, which includes the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal and Glasgow North East Local CPP areas. The analysis in this assessment report provides a breakdown of Youth Disorder Incidents, which includes complaints and disturbances. The assessment is used to identify hotspots that determine resource deployments. The assessment that has been reviewed for this report is for the 3 rd quarter of 2011 (1 st October 31 st December 2011). A copy of the assessment is included as Appendix 1. 1 Data Zones are groups of Census output areas which have populations of between 500 and 1,000 household residents contains households with similar social characteristics. 5

36 It should be noted that: a) the majority of the recorded incidents are complaints as distinct from disturbances that result in further action (e.g. in Glasgow North 432 of the 497 incidents during the quarter were complaints with 65 being classified as disturbances). b) some of the analysis has been reported on a Glasgow North basis so it is not possible to make definitive statements re the neighbourhoods in the MKC CPP area. The main points from the Operational Assessment relating to the MKC Local CPP area are: During the 3 rd quarter of 2011, there were 308 Youth Disorder incidents in the MKC CPP area. This was a reduction of 35 (10%) on the same period in In comparative terms, the level of youth disorder incidents in MKC was the fourth lowest among the ten CPP areas in Glasgow. In the same quarter in 2010, MKC had the sixth lowest level among the Glasgow CPP areas. The decrease in youth related disorder incidents was experienced in four of the five neighbourhoods ranging from a 43% decrease in the Maryhill Road Corridor area to an eight percentage drop in Lambhill & Milton. Within these neighbourhoods, the overall decrease in youth disorder incidents within a year has been 24%. However, the third quarter in 2011 saw a 53% increase (rise from 60 to 92) in the number of youth disorder incidents in the North Maryhill & Summerston area. According to the 2011 data, North Maryhill & Summerston was the neighbourhood in the MKC Local CPP area with the highest level of youth disorder incidents (in 2010 it was the 4 th highest of the 5 MKC housing neighbourhoods). It should be noted that this neighbourhood had the 13 th highest level of youth disorder incidents across the 59 housing neighbourhoods in Glasgow. It is also worth noting that, in terms of information pertaining to North Glasgow: Youth disorder peaks between the hours of 6pm and 9pm across the former North Glasgow strategic planning area 49% of all youth disorder incidents in this part of the city took place between these times. Youth disorder is at its highest on a Friday and Saturday evening. The rates of incidents between Q3 in 2010/11 and Q3 in 2011/12 for those days does not appear to differ significantly. However, there appears to be a noteworthy decrease in youth disorder incidents on Wednesday and Thursday evenings when comparing data for 2010/11 with 2011/12. 6

37 Of the 20 streets which experienced the highest amount of youth disorder between October to December 2011 across North Glasgow, 11 of the streets are in the MKC Local CPP area. 3.4 Educational Attainment/Post School Destinations The 2011 School Leavers Destination Report (SLDR) 2 identified that the percentage of school leavers leaving school from the two secondary schools in the MKC Local CPP area with a negative destination reduced from 23.2% in 2010 to 20.6% in Further data on the 2011 SLDR is presented in Table 2 - as follows. The board is advised that: Whilst both schools improved from 2010 to 2011 in terms of increasing the percentage of school leavers who had a positive destination, the level of school leavers without a positive destination was still above the average level for the North West Sector of the city and Glasgow. In terms of positive destinations for school leavers in 2011, Cleveden Secondary was ranked 29 th out of 30 secondary schools in Glasgow with John Paul Academy ranked 26 th.

Over 11% of JSA claimants in both those neighbourhoods are aged under 20 (Glasgow city average is 8.5%). Among the 21 multi member wards, Canal has the highest number (165) and 2 nd highest percentage (10.8%) of JSA claimants who are aged under 20. This position worsens when reviewing the level of young female JSA claimants in the 2 The School Leavers Destination Report provides details on the anticipated outcome for school leavers at the time of leaving school 7

38 ward with 1/6 th (16.2% % in Ruchill & Possilpark) of all female JSA claimants being aged under 20. This is 40% higher than the average level for the city. Thus, it is suggested that youth work activities in the area need to have a greater educational, learning and accreditation component.

40 Supply of Youth Services The Partnership & Development Team also undertook an audit to identify the scale and nature of the publicly funded youth service provision that was being provided and/or funded by agencies as previously noted in section 2 of this report. Each of the agencies provided their weekly programmes of activity, from which a series of charts have been provided (Appendix 2). The key findings are as follows: Scale: The youth activities being provided by the agencies listed above are being attended by, on average, 1,764 3 Children & Young People (C&YP) each week across the MKC Local CPP area. If on average, each of these C&YP attended two activities per week, the number of C&YP attending would equate to 12.9% (1/8) of the MKC year old population. The scale of the current provision equates to more than three and half thousand service hours per week 4. Where: (Charts 1-4) As illustrated in Chart 1 (Appendix 2), over a third of the average number of C&YP using youth services each week attend services that are located in the Ruchill & Possilpark area. Based on each attendee attending two activities per week, this level equates to 24% of the yr old population in the area, which is nearly twice the overall level for the MKC Local CPP area. Whilst Maryhill Road Corridor has only the third highest number (338) of C&YP attending the youth services covered by the study, it is the only neighbourhood that has youth provision across the seven days. Conversely, Lambhill & Milton has a higher (364) number of C&YP attending youth services every week but services only taking place between Wednesday Friday (Chart 2). Chart 3 illustrates a different balance between diversionary/generic youth activities dependent on the neighbourhood within MKC area. Most of the C&YP attending youth services in Lambhill & Milton (79%) and Ruchill & Possilpark (73%) are attending diversionary activities. However, in other neighbourhoods the majority of C&YP are attending generic youth services for example, Kelvindale & Kelvinside (100%) and Maryhill Road Corridor (63%). When the information on specific types of activity is reviewed, the position in Lambhill & Milton becomes even clearer with Sports & Physical Activity being the only type of diversionary activity that is provided in the area. The only youth service provision in Kelvindale & Kelvinside is school based targeted support. 3 This number is based on services providing details on the average number of attendances per evening at services rather than individual personal details so the number will include C&YP counted more than once if they attend more than one activity per week. 4 Service hours are defined as the number of C&YP attending an activity multiplied by the number of hours that the activity is provided for. 10

41 Ruchill & Possilpark is the only neighbourhood that C&YP can access all of the seven categories of youth services used in this study. (Chart 4) When: (Charts 5-9) The publicly funded youth provision is skewed towards activities on Thursday Friday with on average more C&YP attending youth services on those two days than across the rest of the week combined. The number of C&YP attending services on Saturday and Sunday equates to only 7% of the number for the whole week (Chart 5). When reviewed by neighbourhood (Chart 6), it is evident that there is a balance of service provision thorough out the week/weekend in Ruchill & Possilpark and Maryhill Road Corridor. However, the service provision in Lambhill & Milton is only Wednesday - Friday and in North Maryhill & Summerston the vast majority of the provision is on Tuesdays and Fridays. 83% of service users attend Diversionary Activities between Thursday Sunday while over three quarters (76%) of service users attending Generic Youth Service do so between Tuesday Thursday. (Chart 8) Chart 7 shows that 83% of the C&YP are attending youth services that take place in the evening time. Most C&YP attend services in the evening time irrespective of what day they attend. Chart 9 illustrates that the picture changes when looked at by the type of activity as 99% of diversionary type activity takes place in the evening as against 65% of generic youth work services taking place in the evening. Activity Type: (Charts 10-12) In summary, 59% (1,036) of the C&YP are attending services that provide Diversionary Activities with 41% (728) attending activities categorised as Generic Youth Work. Chart 10 illustrates that Diversionary Work Sports & Physical Activity is the type of the activity most attended by C&YP. On average 701 C&YP attend this type of activity per week. This equates to 40% of the total C&YP attending youth services in MK&C and 68% of C&YP attending diversionary activity services. Generic Youth Work Targeted Support is the next most popular youth activity with 269 C&YP participating in these types of activities. The majority of the targeted support is provided in school by Glasgow Life. Services identified as Generic Youth Work Information is the type of provision that the smallest number of C&YP attend. Chart 11 illustrates the following points: - sports & physical activity is focused on Ruchill & Possilpark and Lambhill & Milton. - the only youth service provision in Kelvinside & Kelvinside is school based targeted support. - there is no streetwork being carried out in Lambhill & Milton and the Maryhill Road Corridor area. - there is no Youth Information service provision in three of the five neighbourhoods within the MKC area. 11

42 Whilst a quarter of C&YP are attending either services classified as having education / targeted support, less than a fifth (18%) of the service hours have been assessed as being for education/targeted support work (Chart 12). This is due to the majority of the targeted support work being school based with the majority of activities lasting for less than an hour. Who: The number (731) of C&YP attending services specifically for 12-15s is nearly eight times more than the number (94) of the C&YP attending youth services specifically for 16-19s (Chart 13). As stated earlier in the report, there are more year olds in the MKC Local CPP area than C&YP aged Charts illustrate that more of the diversionary activity is targeted towards older C&YP than generic youth work which is due to the majority of the targeted support being school based and thus, targeted at year age group. 5. Observations / Conclusions Some general observations for the board to consider in relation to the data presented within this report are outlined as follows: i) The initial analysis would suggest that (on the basis of supply and demand) there is a reasonable spread of youth service provision across the neighbourhoods within the MKC Local CPP area. However, some neighbourhoods appear to be better served by existing provision in comparison to others, albeit within the limitations of currently available resources. ii) In terms of provision and attendance across the days of the week, the ideal position would be to have a minimum level of youth service provision for each neighbourhood, which is based upon services being available 7 days a week. However, this would be contingent on the availability of an increased level of funding / resources. As it currently stands, within the MKC Local CPP area the tendency is for the levels of provision and attendances to increase gradually over the early part of the week through to a peak on Thursday and Friday evenings. The levels of provision and attendances then drop on a Saturday and Sunday. This pattern is generally reflective of the peaks and troughs associated with data relating to anti-social behaviour and youth disorder incidents, with the exception of Saturdays where there appears to still be a need for youth service provision in some locations. iii) The analysis suggests that a significant level of provision is based around sports & physical activity. Whilst there is undoubtedly a need and demand for these types of activities, there is perhaps a requirement to provide a wider range of activities, especially activities that support learning and educational development., in order to tackle the identified issues relating to educational attainment and youth unemployment, as highlighted in section

43 iv) There is a definite need for additional effort and services to be targeted on addressing the issue of youth unemployment. As members will be aware the board has already made a funding commitment to address this issue, which will be considered under agenda item 4 c). v) There is a positive correlation between areas of greatest need (on the basis of the SIMD) and anti-social behaviour and youth disorder hotspots. The priority locations (in no particular order) on this basis would be: - Milton - Cadder - Summerston / Gilshochill (Glenavon Road) - Wyndford - Ruchill (Bilsland Drive / Ruchill Park area) - Westercommon - Possilpark (Saracen Street) As previously stated, some of these neighbourhoods appear to be better served by existing provision, in comparison to others. For example, the analysis suggests that children & young people residing in the neighbourhoods of Ruchill & Possilpark have access to generic and diversionary activities throughout the week. However, the nature of the activities tends to be focused around sports & physical activities, rather than educational or targeted support. Equally, consideration should be given to prioritising other neighbourhoods that would benefit from additional youth service provision, on the basis of: - Location (ie. an anti-social behaviour and youth disorder hotspot ) by way of example, there would appear to be a need for more youth diversionary activities within the areas of Summerston / Gilshochill (Glenavon Road), Milton (Scaraway) and Ruchill (Bilsland Drive / Ruchill Park area). - service type (ie. generic or diversionary) for example, current provision in the Westercommon area is based around generic youth work. The analysis suggests that the area could benefit from additional youth diversionary activities. - additional services being required on a particular day of the week for example, additional capacity could be provided within the Lambhill & Milton neighbourhood (specifically in the areas of Cadder and Milton) to increase provision from the current 3 days per week. 6. Next Steps The board is now asked to consider the next steps of the work relating to youth services in the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal Local CPP area. 13

44 As it currently stands, the board has agreed full year funding awards to the following groups and organisations that deliver youth services: Ref.

As previously stated, and highlighted through the scoping study, the Local CPP s investment represents only a proportion of the overall funding committed to support and deliver youth services in the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal area. However, the scoping study has shown that there are current gaps in youth service provision and there are particular neighbourhoods that could benefit from additional services. The issue for the board to consider is how it wishes to respond to these issues. It is suggested that at this stage, the focus should specifically be on the 60,300 of funding that has been committed to support the North Glasgow Youth Programme. This programme was established previously by the board as an activity related budget to provide services in areas and communities where there is very little in the way of youth provision or youth engagement. The board should note that this programme should not cover the direct core costs of organisations. Previously the management of the programme was led on the Local CPP s behalf by the North Glasgow Youth Stakeholders Group, with day-to-day coordination and administration provided by North United Communities. The board is advised that in view of the recent re-organisation to the service planning boundaries in the city, the North Glasgow Youth Stakeholders Group has recently decided to bring its operation to a close. However, local youth groups are currently involved in on-going development work to establish a new forum to reflect the changes that have taken place. An update on this work will be provided to the board in due course. In view of this position, it is therefore recommended that: 14

45 i) the board agrees that the 60,300 of funding for the North Glasgow Youth Programme is now redirected to address gaps in service provision that have been identified through the scoping study. ii) iii) that the Partnership & Development Team develops a commissioning process against which proposals will be invited from groups and organisations in order to respond to gaps in service provision. the board notes that, based on the previous experiences of the Partnership & Development Team, it may take a couple of months for this commissioning process to be fully concluded. In view of this position, it is recommended that activities, which are currently supported through the North Glasgow Youth Programme, are continued for the first quarter of the 2012/13 financial year covering the period 1 st April to 30 th June A recent meeting was held with members of the former North Glasgow Youth Stakeholders Group who led and coordinated the North Glasgow Youth Programme over the past few years. Following discussion, it was recommended that the activities listed in Appendix 3 should be continued for the first quarter of the new financial year. This approach would result in 15,209 being committed from the budget, with a further 45,091 available for commissioning. Members are advised that some of the organisations listed may also be in receipt of core funding awarded by the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal Local CPP board through the Integrated Grants Fund. The board should note that the funding awarded through the North Glasgow Youth Programme is for additional activities, which are beyond the core business of those particular organisations. iv) The re-profiled North Glasgow Youth Programme be ready for implementation by 1 st July v) a short life working group is established to support the commissioning process over the coming couple of months. It is proposed, that in order to ensure that there is knowledge of the local context (from a youth services perspective) and that the CPP s conflict of interest rules are adhered to, the working group should consist of a number of representatives from the Local CPP board and local representatives from the youth services sector. The proposed membership of the group should therefore consist of: Strathclyde Police. Strathclyde Fire & Rescue Service. Community Resident. Voluntary Sector Network youth sector. Glasgow Housing Association. Glasgow Life. The Partnership & Development Team will support the operation of this short life working group. 15

46 vi) A report on the outcome of this process is presented for the Local CPP board s endorsement at its next available meeting. The board should be aware that this approach only addresses in part the issues which were discussed at length during previous board meetings regarding youth service provision in the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal Local CPP area. In addition to the above, it is also recommended that further work be progressed with partners over the coming months on the development of principles, objectives and outcomes / outputs, which could direct youth service provision in the Local CPP area in the future, with the potential that this could also be used as a basis for commissioning a re-profiled youth programme for 2013/14. Clearly, this issue would require further consideration by the Local CPP board. A progress report will therefore be provided to the board in due course. 16

74 Background As members will recall, some of the issues that emerged through the Neighbourhood Management residents survey concerned the quality of the environment, parks/open spaces and children s play areas. This is an area of activity upon which the Local CPP board has targeted investment over the past few years through its capital programme. As part of the 2012/13 funding process, the Local CPP board previously agreed to continue funding towards a capital programme totaling 166,368. The board had stipulated that the development of the programme content for 2012/13 should take account of the particular issues (listed above) raised through the Neighbourhood Management residents survey. In line with approach taken by the board over the past few years, this allocation will comprise of two elements for 2012/13: 44,000 specifically for an Open Spaces & Environment Programme; and 122,368 for capital projects. This report seeks to: i) update the board on the position regarding the Open Spaces & Environment Programme; and ii) provide the board with some initial proposals for committing the capital allocation of 122, Open Spaces & Environment Programme 2012/13 In the coming weeks, work will be progressed by the local Open Spaces & Environment Group (OSEG) on the development of the Local CPP s Open Spaces & Environment Programme for 2012/13. The board is reminded that in 2011/12, this programme proved to be very popular amongst local community groups. The programme was heavily oversubscribed, with the number of bids received being over twice the available budget. The development of the programme will be managed in line with the approach that had been successfully employed by the Local CPP board over the past few years. As per previous years, local groups and organisations will be invited to submit funding proposals which respond to the issues raised through the Neighbourhood Management residents survey, with a particular focus on the themes of: Vacant/derelict land & stalled spaces Growing spaces Information on the process and timetable for submitting funding proposals will be circulated widely through local networks and forums, including: local community and

75 voluntary sector groups; Local Housing Organisations; and, Registered Social Landlords. In addition, information will also be publicised on the Local CPP web site. A report on the outcome of this work, including the finalised programme content, will be presented in due course for the board s endorsement. The board should note that in addition to the Local CPP s Open Spaces & Environment Programme, further opportunities will also be provided for local groups and organisations to access funding to carry out environmental and open space initiatives. These opportunities will be provided through: i) The city-wide Stalled Spaces Programme members may recall that this was run for the first time in 2011/12 through 50,000 of capital funding committed by Glasgow City Council Development & Regeneration Services and Glasgow Housing Association. Both partners have confirmed that they will be continuing this programme during 2012/13 and have accordingly committed funding at a standstill level. Through this programme community and voluntary organisations are able to access small scale grants of between 1,000 to 2,500 to deliver projects which improve the quality of the local environment on stalled development sites, Vacant & Derelict Land and undeveloped open space. There was a high level of demand for this fund during 2011/12 within the North West sector of the city, particularly within the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal Local CPP area. Groups from within the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal area accessed 19,800 through the 2011/12 Stalled Spaces programme, which was the highest level of funding across all of the Local CPPs in Glasgow. The 2012/13 Stalled Spaces Programme is now open for applications and publicity materials have been circulated to local groups and organisations. There will be 2 funding rounds during the year ahead the deadlines for applications are Monday 2 nd April and Monday 27 th August. Further information on the programme (including application packs and guidance notes) can be accessed on the Council s web site at the following link: talled+spaces++++temporary+landscapes.htm ii) the ENV 2 Policy (formerly known as RES 3) through this planning policy, the Council is able to provide support for open space projects through a form of planning gain in which financial contributions are received from new residential developments in the city. Funding opportunities are available for projects on the basis of the following themes: Amenity greenspace Children s play Outdoor sport Public realm

76 Further information on the ENV 2 Policy can be accessed on the Council s web site at the following link: NV2 3) 2012/13 Capital Programme As members will be aware, over the past few years the Local CPP board has managed a capital budget to support a number of key developments, which have contributed to the on-going physical regeneration of priority areas within the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal area. Examples include investment in: Children s play area provision (including Multi-Use Games Areas) Lambhill Stables Saracen Exchange Cadder Community Centre As part of the 2011/12 funding process, the Local CPP board has a capital programme budget of 122,368. The board is reminded that whilst the focus of the capital programme budget is to support key developments that contribute to the ongoing physical regeneration of priority areas, it was stipulated that the development of the programme content for 2012/13 should take account of the particular issues raised through the Neighbourhood Management residents survey, these being: the quality of the environment; parks/open spaces; and, children s play areas. Initial options are presented as follows for the Local CPP board s consideration: 3 i) Cadder Play Area As members of the Local CPP board will recall, at the last meeting in November the board approved an award of 42,368 capital for the development of a children's play area and Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) within the Cadder neighbourhood. The original plan had been to deliver new play facilities for the neighbourhood on a phased basis, as experience has shown that by providing a MUGA as part of a first phase minimises the potential for vandalism to later phases of play investment. It was expected that phase 1 of the planned programme of investment would take place during 2011/12. The main focus of this phase would be on the installation of a MUGA (including lighting). The cost of this would be 120,000, of which: the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal Local CPP board had committed 42,368; Cadder Housing Association had committed 40,000; and Land & Environmental Services was committed to covering the outstanding balance.

77 Phases 2 and 3 of the proposed development would focus on the installation of play facilities for 7-11 year olds and toddlers. Land & Environmental Services have indicated that they would continue to work with local stakeholders to develop these other phases and to secure the necessary capital funding. As explained in previous correspondence to board members, regrettably, the 1 st phase of the development experienced some delays which prevented the Local CPP s funding from being committed and spent before the end of the financial year 31 st March Accordingly, the board agreed by written procedure to vire the funding commitment from the Cadder development to the development of a MUGA on Keppochill road, as this did not present a material change to the purpose of grant. The board is however reminded that the other funding partners and local stakeholders involved in supporting the MUGA and children s play provision in Cadder remain committed to the development and expect to be able to start to deliver on this in the new financial year 2012/13. In consideration of this position, it is recommended that the Local CPP board recognises this development as a priority for 2012/13 and accordingly approves the award of 42,368 from the capital programme allocation. 3 ii) Maryhill Park At the November board meeting, members were informed that work had been carried out over the course of 2011 to look at options for enhancing the Maryhill Park area. In order to progress this Glasgow City Council - Land & Environmental Services, in conjunction with Glasgow Life, had carried out various community consultation exercises (including workshops and questionnaire surveys) to identify opportunities to improve the park based on local opinion. Officers from Land & Environmental Services have produced a report on the outcome of these consultation exercises entitled A Vision for Maryhill Park. As previously noted, the report outlines short, medium and longer term actions as identified by the community. The indication from initial discussions is that some of these actions could require some capital funding support from the Local CPP board during 2012/13 and in subsequent years. It is therefore recommended that the Local CPP board recognises this development as a priority for 2012/13. At this point in time, it is not possible to confirm the level of funding required to support any potential developments within this area. A progress report will therefore be presented for the next board meeting, which will provide a recommendation for a potential funding contribution.

78 - 78-4) Next Steps The Local CPP board is advised that if the recommendation proposed in section 3 is agreed, this would leave an uncommitted balance of 80,000. The board is advised that the Partnership & Development Team will continue to carry out work and liaise with partners in order to identify other possible options for capital investment, which could contribute to on-going physical regeneration plans and activities in the Local CPP area. Service Implications Financial: Commitment of Integrated Grant Funds to support the delivery of the Local CPP s Open Spaces & Environment Programme and Capital Programme. Legal: None Personnel: None Service Plan: None Environmental: Delivery of the Open Spaces & Environment Programme and Capital Programme will lead to environmental enhancements within the Local CPP area. Sustainable Procurement and Article 19: Recommendations: The Local CPP board is asked to: i) Note the process that will be followed to develop the Partnership s 2012/13 Open Spaces & Environment Programme. ii) Note that local groups and organisations can access additional funding opportunities through the Stalled Spaces Programme and the ENV2 policy. iii) Approve an award of 42,368 from the capital programme allocation to support the installation of a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) in Cadder. iv) Agree that the development of Maryhill Park is recognised as a priority for the Partnership s 2012/13 capital programme and that a progress report with funding recommendations will be presented at a future meeting. v) Note that the Partnership & Development Team will continue to carry out work and liaise with partners in order to identify other possible options for capital investment.

80 Background At the Maryhill / Kelvin & Canal Local CPP board in May 2011, a funding award of 45,000 was approved from the Partnership s 2011/12 capital programme for the Saracen Exchange development, which is being progressed by Glasgow s Regeneration Agency (GRA). Regular progress reports on the development have previously been considered by the Local CPP board. Until recently, it was expected that the development would be due on site before the end of the current financial year 31 st March Unfortunately, it has now been confirmed that this will definitely not be the case. Consequently, the Partnership & Development Team received correspondence from GRA advising that, due to delays in the project, it would not be in a position to spend the Local CPP s funding award before 31 st March 2012 and that it wished to de-commit the capital funding award of 45,000. Following discussion with the chairperson of the Local CPP board it was agreed that efforts should be made to ensure that any available capital funding is recommitted and spent before the end of the financial year. This report and appendices outline options for the board s consideration. 2. Funding Process In view of the exceptionally tight timescales, and consequently the limited capacity to run a full application process, it was agreed that the Partnership & Development Team would specifically seek proposals for committing the capital funding from organisations / groups which: are currently involved in the Partnership s 2011/12 capital programme; have been previously considered for capital funding during 2011/12; or have recently contacted the Partnership & Development Team to request capital funding support. On this basis, the Partnership & Development Team contacted 5 organisations / groups either by phone or . The 5 organisations / groups are noted as follows: Cadder Housing Association Cadder Community Centre Cowlairs Development Trust / West of Scotland Housing Association / Cowlairs Multi-Use Games Area Lambhill Stables North Area Transport Association Possil Renewal Ltd Ardoch House Complex These organisations / groups were advised that: i) Proposals were being invited specifically for capital funding. The Local CPP board will not consider on-going revenue commitments relating to any of the proposals submitted.

81 ii) The capital funding is to be for services / goods and activities that have been received and completed by the 31 st March There is no provision for any carry forward beyond this date. The organisations / groups were therefore advised that they should be realistic about the potential amount of funding that they can spend within this timescale. iii) Proposals would require to be presented for the Local CPP board s consideration on Friday 16 th March In order that the organisations / groups had sufficient time to work up proposals, and also to allow sufficient time for board members to consider the proposals, a deadline for submission was set for 10.00am on Wednesday 14 th March Of the 5 organisations contacted, 4 submitted proposals by the deadline. These are included as appendices to this report for the board s consideration. The organisations that have submitted proposals are: Organisation / Group Capital Funding Requested North Area Transport Association (appendix 1) 6, Cadder Housing Association (appendix 2) 40,000 Possil Renewal Ltd Ardoch House Complex (appendix 3) 42,500 Lambhill Stables (appendix 4) 20, Total 108, The board is asked to consider these proposals and agree options for committing the available budget of 45,000.

96 This project is the sole provider, within the Greater Possilpark area, of recreational and health & fitness services to the community and there is no duplication of provision. This capital investment, when allied with the Ardoch Complex all weather pitch development, will strengthen existing partnerships and develop new linkages. The Community Health & Care Partnership and Glasgow Life s current involvement in providing G.P. Referral s and the Live Active service can be expanded given the increased facilities provided by this investment. This expansion is also key to increased involvement with the Active Schools Co-ordinator responsible for Possilpark s schools, who sees merit in bringing both campuses together at an expanded and improved Ardoch Complex. In terms of new linkages, the proposed improvements to the Ardoch Complex conditioning gym allied to the all weather pitch will allow Possil Renewal to engage with organisations such as: Streetleague Second Chance Fairbridge Phoenix Futures Who have all previously used Ardoch Complex to provide sport & fitness facilities to their service users who are in substance rehabilitation or otherwise at risk. There also exists the potential to partner with other local services who have not accessed the facilities due to their restricted nature. The Community Health & Care Partnership s Youth Health Service, with whom discussions have previously been held, could be able to use the expanded conditioning gym as part of their diversionary programme. 4.1 Please indicate which of the following groups this initiative will SPECIFICALLY target: (A primary target group MUST be chosen but a secondary target group should only be chosen if appropriate and where the service can evidence that the group(s) were targeted) PRIMARY TARGET GROUP Working Age People (16-59/64) Secondary Target Group Substance Misuse (alcohol,drugs etc) If other selected, please specify 4.2 Please select from the drop down list which service/activity type best describes the activity funded through this award.

97 The gym is available 80 hours per week over seven days for 50 weeks per year and is currently open to people aged 16 and over. The gym is 128m2 and will be expanded into an adjoining area of 56m2 an increase of 44%. The new area will be largely for free weights but in effect two gym areas will be created allowing greater flexibility of use whereby ladies only or under 16 sessions can be promoted, whilst still being able to provide access to the general membership. 60% of the existing equipment is 12 years old and obsolete and have no residual value. The rest of the gym machines are now 5 years old and one of the treadmills is already beyond economic repair. The capital award will: Redecorate and re-floor the 128m2 Install matting and mirrors to the 56m2 Purchase approx. 10 resistance gym machines Purchase approx. 4 c.v. gym machines (quotations dated 8th March are available) FINANCIAL INFORMATION 5.1 Please specify below any non-council funds which will be used in conjunction with the funding awarded by GCC to deliver the project/initiative.
