The different groups are involved in a range of different activities including sport, growing food, childcare, offering financial support and personal well-being among others a meeting heard.
Park Villa Football Development taking over Glasgow Club Drumoyne and Easterhouse Sports Centre being run by the Phoenix Centre, Easterhouse Community Sports Hub and Basketball Scotland are among examples of local recent “empowerment."

And many of those who have either already had buildings or land transferred or are in the process of doing so have deep roots in the communities that have long faced social challenges in areas such as Govan, Easterhouse, Pollok, Shettleston, Springburn and elsewhere.
