Wider Role

What is wider role?

Wider Role can be described as, “activities by housing associations that go beyond housing provision and management and seek to improve the social and economic circumstances of local communities”.

SHA has a strong commitment to its wider role as an engine for the regeneration of the local area. It employs a Community Regeneration Officer whose remit is to support, promote and instigate regeneration and community development activity, working for the benefit of the entire community, irrespective of tenure. Its current strategic priorities, reflective of the needs of the area, are:

Employment and income maximisation
Young people
Older people
The environment

Shettleston Men’s Shed

Sometimes described as a youth club for older like-minded men.

Shettleston Does Digital

Free training to help members of the community learn about using digital devices.

Shettleston Pantry

For a modest fee of £2.50, members of the Pantry can take away £15 worth of food.

Fuse Youth Café

Shettleston’s first youth facility opened in 2009 in a disused public house.

Shettleston Keen-agers

Events and activities for those over the age of 55 to make friends.

Shettleston Community Growing Project (SCGP)

We provided land and support for community allotments.

In the pipeline – more services for older people

Over the next year, we hope to expand the options in our community for older people. Following the example of the Men’s Shed, we are working to develop a hub at our community room in Edrom Path where all kinds of activities would be on offer, but with the emphasis very much on self-help and volunteering.
