Glasgow Clyde College
/Glasgow Clyde College pledges to:
Challenge ourselves to increase the positive impact we make on our local community and make better use of our assets – our buildings/grounds and our people.
In the next six months we will do at least three things that we don’t do at the moment to improve our social impact.
Signed, Jon Vincent, Principal and Chief Executive, September 2019
1st Commitment
Glasgow Clyde College will introduce a technology-focused recycling scheme aiming to improve digital inclusion - Gift-tech. Gift-tech will offer a practical solution to recycling as well as an opportunity to support identified learners who were facing hardship and who may be at risk of further social exclusion or dropping out of learning due to the lack of access to ICT equipment.
The scheme will see the College refurbish its old ICT equipment by cleaning, wiping and refurbishing PCs and laptops to a workable state allowing them to be "gifted" to students or local community groups.
Geographical location of impact: All three campuses - Anniesland, Cardonald and Langside

Glasgow Clyde College, in partnership with local, regional and national organisations, will host a minimum of three careers education events (one per campus) that will be open for attendance by schools, community groups and individuals.

3rd Commitment
Glasgow Clyde College will commit to offering local community groups, charities and social enterprises, the opportunity to use College facilities at a discounted rate. For those directly involved with our Community Learning and Development provision, access to the College's meeting facilities will be free of charge.
The College will work with Glasgow Social Enterprise Network to promote this opportunity and support the implementation of their Social Enterprise Strategy and Action Plan.
