Glasgow Empowering Community Cooperative (GECCO) was formed in 2016 and is a co-operative of Development Trusts across Glasgow city whose ambition is to draw together its significant community networks in the North, South, West and East to bring a fresh approach to addressing city challenges. As Development Trusts, each of the members are community-based and focused on the local area that they are based within. As such, there are often opportunities for tenders, contracts and services that are on a Glasgow-wide basis and therefore out with the scope of each organisation.
