The Gorbals Ideas Fund belongs to the community and is led by local volunteers, Community Advocates. The Gorbals community includes the local areas of Oatlands, Hutchesontown, Riverside and Laurieston - around 10,000 people!

​

We want to bring more choice and opportunities to the people who live in the Gorbals, ensuring that everyone who calls our community home can live happily, healthily, and well. Our aim is to create opportunities for people to be actively involved in decisions that affect them, access the services they need, and take part in the things they enjoy.

​

We do this through Participatory Budgeting - a way of working that puts decisions about funding into the hands of local people. You can read more about Participatory Budgeting here.

​

Our work is supported by our Communities Know Strategy.
