A Study of a Social Inclusion Programme in a Deprived Urban Neighbourhood in Glasgow, UK

This paper discusses the factors that could help a community-based neighbourhood regeneration project to achieve sustainable organizational structure, which is deemed to be the prerequisite to bring about the intended project outcomes. Through a case study of a sport-based social inclusion programme targeted at young people living in a deprived neighbourhood in Glasgow, it illustrates the process of a football coaching project going through sustainable and progressive project development to become a multi-dimensional holistic programme to support the young people who were disadvantaged in their transition into adulthood. In so doing, the focus is placed upon the interaction between the urban regeneration partnership scheme, namely Social Inclusion Partnership, and the local project run by a voluntary organization.
