Engage Influence Change
The TIS Engage Influence Change (EIC) project, funded by the Glasgow Communities Fund, focuses on providing opportunities for individuals across the city to actively participate and engage within their local communities, and empower people to identify and deliver solutions that meet their needs.
The extensive EIC project works to enhance the capacity and resilience of the diverse and flourishing communities within Glasgow. It will deliver services that enable and empower communities to become involved in the social, economic, and cultural life of the city.
Our target groups
The EIC Project works to make a positive impact within Glasgow by increasing opportunities to influence and shape housing and wider community services, and will target three specific groups, including:
Young people
Improving opportunities for young people, developing a library of housing options information, and building strong community links within schools to boost youth participation;
Private rented sector tenants and owners
Supporting private rented sector tenants and owners to create a model for owner associations, and developing an outreach programme to establish a platform for the Council and partner agencies to engage. And;
Social rented sector tenants
Developing a capacity building programme for social rented sector tenants, and nurturing the growth of skills, knowledge, and confidence in order to participate and influence decisions within the community.
This unique and innovative approach is a great demonstration of our commitment to explore all avenues to work towards an active, inclusive, and just Scotland where our communities are strong, equitable, and sustainable.
The EIC Project will provide mentor support; e-learning opportunities; knowledge exchange; experience; and a range of materials to drive good practice forward. It will enable individuals and communities to reach their full potential and play an active role in the city of Glasgow.
