Glasgow to create Social Enterprise
Glasgow City Council plans to form a new Social Enterprise to manage museums, libraries, leisure centres and community halls under council ownership.
The first step involves the preparation of a detailed business plan to identify issues and find solutions for the organisational, funding and legal aspects of the enterprise, which is scheduled for completion by January 2007.
Council leader Steven Purcell said: “We currently do a very good job of providing cultural and leisure services across the city, but it is quite clear that the proposed changes would provide further opportunities in terms of funding, managing and delivering these services.
“Other areas in the UK have already seen how the establishment of a new Social Enterprise model brings positive change.” Details: www.glasgow.gov.uk
