Support for Community Groups
The Glass-House is a charity that supports and empowers community groups involved in projects to improve their neighbourhoods.
Local people hold valuable knowledge about their areas that can make a project unique and sustainable. We believe that strong community participation and leadership, working effectively with professionals in the design process, is essential to creating places that inspire and delight.
The Glass-House works nationally, offering free Design Training   and Project Support   to tenant, resident and community groups involved in local physical regeneration projects. Our programmes give community groups the tools and confidence to play an active and constructive role in improving their neighbourhoods.
Who we help
The Glass-House helps community groups involved in regeneration projects such as:
Community buildings
Communal outdoor spaces
Play areas
Facilities for children and young people
Housing schemes
Masterplans for neighbourhood regeneration
We support groups that are leading and managing regeneration projects themselves, and community steering/stakeholder groups involved in a project led by a council, housing association or developer.
