Thriving Places Anchor Organisation Existing Networks Community Organiser Political Lead –Local Engagement –Asset Mapping –Understanding of Assets

Thriving Places our ‘place based’ approach to support specific neighbourhoods and communities recognises continued inequality within Glasgow to speed up better outcomes for our residents neighbourhoods identified on basis of both need and opportunity focussing on nine neighbourhoods over time –Gorbals –Parkhead/Dalmarnock –Ruchill/Possilpark

Thriving Places Key principles for this approach include: long term partnership focus, up to 10 years flexible local responses, working more closely with communities co-production of services with residents a commitment to community capacity building, increasing social capital and empowering communities an asset based approach, making the most of buildings, services, local groups and individuals

Thriving Places Key Outcomes of this approach include: more resilient, sustainable communities thriving and growing neighbourhoods – where people are proud of where they live communities have more aspiration and influence over local services communities work in partnership with providers to plan, develop and commission local services higher levels of engagement and diversity of local residents engaged – beyond the ‘usual suspects’
