Meet the Communities Team

The Communities Team is made up of Community Coordinator, Michael Fullerton, Community Budgeting Officer, Melissa Gillen, Community Engagement Worker, Sean Ewart, and Tenant Participation Officer, Susan Burn.

The team have varied experience in community engagement, development, consultation and take an asset-based approach to their work with engagement, tenant participation, collaboration and empowerment at the core of this approach.

The Team aims to work alongside local people to build a community that is connected and resilient, where people are happy and well and can access the support they need when they need it.

We do this by providing:

• Events that bring the whole community together to celebrate the Gorbals
• Activities that provide practical support to people experiencing inequality
• Initiatives that give people the opportunities to influence priorities and decisions
• Capacity building support to help local people and local groups to drive positive change in their community
• Engagement & Consultation
• Volunteering Opportunities that ensure local people are involved in the design, development and delivery of our work.
