The guide breaks down social enterprises by category and includes information on a number of housing companies, including Link, Cassiltoun Housing Association, Glen Oaks Housing Association, Patrick Housing Association, Penington CoHousing, Queens Cross Housing Association and Southside Housing Association.

Writing in the foreword, GSEN director Elizabeth Docherty said: “Social enterprise is gaining momentum across Glasgow and Scotland and we are proud to say that the city is now home to the most unique social enterprises and the most inspiring social entrepreneurs.

“Some operate at national level, some very local but all are striving to change the landscape of Glasgow, to improve our communities and are doing it through trading with the public, private and third sector organisations and the public sector.

“This guide provides you with a fuller understanding of who we are and encourages you to look towards social enterprise when you consider your next purchase, service needs or contract.”
