goConnect

goConnect is a project that works with vulnerable tenants such as people with anxiety and depression, long-term unemployed, carers, single parents, etc. 

It aims to help people who feel lonely and isolated, encouraging them to try new skills, courses and volunteering roles. 

Changes to our service due to Coronavirus

We understand that in light of current circumstances, many tenants may be feeling anxious and isolated.  The goConnect team will be working remotely for the foreseeable future: if you need assistance, please telephone Brenda or Erin on 0141 638 0999 (Option 3), and we can refer or signpost you to relevant agencies who may be able to help.  We will also be updating our goConnect Facebook page regularly with useful information, you can find us at:

 We know that there is a great community spirit and would appeal to you to phone your neighbours, particularly those who live alone are elderly or vulnerable.  If you feel that a tenant may be vulnerable, and you would like us to keep in touch with them regularly, please pass their details on to us.
