Infobase has a comprehensive data set of accurate and up to date information about Glasgow’s community and voluntary sector. This is therefore the first opportunity to report on the scale and scope of the sector.
We have already reported on some of these in the
first Infobase briefing paper (click here for briefing
papers), and have provided over 150 tailored reports
requested by community and voluntary organisations, and
public agencies including Glasgow City Council,
universities, and local planning partnerships.
