About this Event

Following our successful study visit to BRAG, in Fife, we are organising another one, this time to GECCo, in Glasgow.

It is on Thursday 12th March: minibus leaving The Gateway at 9.15am and returning at 2pm.

GECCo is a cooperative of place‑based Development Trusts, anchored in communities across Glasgow. Their unique model allows for place-based delivery, with a stronger collective voice for strategy and funding. It allows then to share our existing services, build on these collectively and share resource, maximising opportunities across the city.

Communities face social and economic challenges, yet funding and policy are often designed at scale and disconnected from local reality — leading to fragmented delivery and missed impact, especially for people furthest from the labour market. GECCo bridges that gap. Our members are embedded in the heart of their communities, trusted and accountable. Through the cooperative, we align that local expertise into co‑ordinated, city‑wide delivery — particularly in employability of which we have been delivering projects since 2015 through DWP, ESF and NOLB.

Places are limited.
