The Greater Easterhouse Development Company was set up in 1991 to help local residents with employment issues, to improve property and assist with the expansion of local businesses. It works with a number of other agencies to help people get jobs, offering advice and practical help with preparing CV’s and applications, interview skills, business start up and training.

Community councils help people with local issues, and Tenant’s Associations throughout the area work to improve housing conditions for the community. A number of Credit Unions have been set up to give financial help, and a range of Counselling and Support Services such as the Easterhouse Alcohol Information Service give people who need it a helping hand.

These are just a few of the local organisations which have been set up. Contact the Greater Easterhouse Partnership on 0141 771 9338 for information on the services and agencies operating for the people of Greater Easterhouse.
