Overview of ListenUp ListenUp is a not-for-profit social enterprise established to support the Wyndford community in order to enhance their feeling of community spirit and ownership. It aims to increase community involvement in decision making by encouraging community engagement. It facilitates community and stakeholder interaction with the aim of better relations between them and more supportive action taking place in the locality. With greater community involvement in decision making the outcome of development projects will be greatly improved.

ListenUp Information Flow ListenUp provides creative ways of gaining community involvement and gathering community opinion on local issues. Stakeholders such as the council, companies or associations operating in the local area can work with ListenUp in order to discover the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real needs. ListenUp engages the community to participate in issues and decision making to ensure that the best possible outcome is achieved.

As this system is initiated and developed within the community a cycle of success should follow. As the stakeholders are presented with more valuable information on what the community needs, they can take appropriate action and the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trust in them improves. As action happens, the community see that their opinion counts, enhancing community spirit and encouraging further involvement.

The process can equally begin from the community. ListenUp uses information gathering methods and provides the community with tools to find projects the community would like to take forward. These can then be presented to stakeholders for action to be taken.

Value for the Community

The Organisational Structure ListenUp Wyndford is made up of a Board, a Superhero and Design Interns. The wider community has the option of becoming members, known as Heros. It is the job of the Superhero and Design Interns to run projects and engage community involvement in decision making, bringing the Stakeholders into closer collaboration with the community in which they operate and in turn increasing community trust.

The post of Design Intern is a paid one-day-aweek position (split between two interns). The Designer works closely with the Superhero, and assumes the role of Creative Director of a project process and for any marketing material. The Designer must remain in touch with the Board and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members and respond to issues in the community. The Designer can also market and sell design services to local businesses to supplement ListenUp funds.

ListenUp Wyndford

As well as all member rights, the special post of Superhero is a paid one-day-per-week position. The Superhero works closely with the designer as the Action Team, and assumes the role of project manager. The Superhero is the first point of contact once an engagement project process has begun. The Superhero must remain visible in the community and aware of community issues. The Superhero applies and is elected by the board and members.

Community Engagement Tools Creative methods of community engagement are at the core of the ListenUp enterprise. Tools are developed and used in order to gain the most community input possible and ensure the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice is heard. These tools will be tested during the Wyndford ListenUp prototype and analysed by the Superhero and Design Interns. They will then be further developed and refined as the enterprise continues.

Prototype â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ListenUp Wyndford The primary schools in Wyndford were closed down in July 2009 and the old school site is due for redevelopment. A scoping study was published in November 09 which sets out the possibilities for this site to be developed into a community centre. This is the perfect opportunity for a prototype of the ListenUp enterprise. From attending community council meetings we have gathered the support of the Community Council, the Wyndford Residents Association and are in the process of setting up a collaboration with the Glasgow Community Safety Services who are in charge of the redevelopment.

Prototype Objective

Expected Outcome

Initial steps in preparation for the prototype have already been taken. We are currently in the process of identifying and recruiting relevant Â board members within the Wyndford estate and Design Interns who will be assisting in managing the prototype.

The prototype will primarily aid the development and the refinement of engagement, trust building and feedback tools. It will also probe and act as a learning experience to facilitate communication between the community and stakeholders. This will be achieved through co-creation workshops and meetings where findings will be shared.

This includes a range of tried and tested tools which will subsequently be made available on the ListenUp Website. The success of this will determine the future of ListenUp.

ListenUp GetGo Glasgow

The success of the prototype would be determined by the involvement of the community and the desired action being taken by the stakeholders.

ListenUp Launch

ListenUp Website The ListenUp website will be launched after the prototype is completed. Content from Mobile Internet access could be a problem in Wyndford. Anyone can add content using their mobile phone. There will also be a mobile compatible website.

ListenUp Financial Flow The finances of ListenUp are divided into two tanks. The larger one covers the running costs, the smaller one is for projects initiated by the community through ListenUp. It is the shared responsibility of the Superhero and Design Interns to secure sufficient income through grants, t-shirt sales and project fees to ensure financial sustainability.

Beyond the Prototype

ListenUp Partick

A successful prototype would prove the ListenUp concept and is likely to spin off new projects within the Wyndford and its already established stakeholder network. Press coverage of successful community initatives and word of mouth could lead to increased stakeholder interest or community-led initiatives in other areas of Glasgow. In the long run this could result in more ListenUp projects being established in which the Design Interns, the ListenUp core values, some Stakeholders and the ListenUp website are common. This would create a network of community involvement initiatives across Glasgow. In the event of such success, a small central governance to coordinate all of the individual ListenUp enterprises would be created and the constitution would need to be revised.

ListenUp Pollockshaws

Each individual ListenUp Community would have its own money tanks to be used solely for that community.

Benefits and Success of ListenUp The ListenUp proposal has many benefits for both the community and stakeholders. • The community voice will be better heard and represented. • The community is more likely to get what they actually want, need and will use. • Through stakeholder initiated projects there will be enough funds to pay for projects initiated by the community. • It encourages collaboration and provides transparency; anyone can access the tools and benchmark its services through the online platform. • Stakeholders receive more accurate community opinion for easier and better decision making. • Better value for money on stakeholder investment. • Community trust in stakeholders increases.

ListenUp Core Values Encouraging Communication & Collaboration

ListenUp will be successful for many reasons. • It focusses a real opportunity, which is currently poorly addressed, with a new and innovative approach. • It has the trust and enthusiasm of the Wyndford community. • It has numerous established interested partners, for example Glasgow Community and Safety Services, the Wyndford Community Council, the Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow North Regeneration Agency, the Ruchill Youth Project and ASAP Scotland. • It addresses both top-down and bottom-up needs. • Its structure is sustainable through the use of Design Interns to provide creative involvement into the future.

ListenUp Constitution Description and Purposes

Heroes’ obligations:

ListenUp is a not-for-profit social enterprise established to support the Wyndford community in order to enhance their feeling of community spirit and ownership. It aims to increase community involvement in decision making by encouraging community engagement.

• All the members will be bound by this constitution. • The specific obligations of the heroes and Superhero are stipulated in the Governance section.

ListenUp works on three different fronts: Community Life ListenUp will work to counteract the common trend of a declining sense of community. • Activities and events will be organised in order to regenerate community spirit and provide fundraising for smaller community projects. • Larger projects with the aim of improving community life and services will also be carried out. Advice for community initiated projects, and the engagement tools needed, will also be provided by ListenUp. Engaging Residents in Community Development The current consultation methods used do not really involve the community nor engage community members. ListenUp will bring in a more creative approach based on real community involvement. • It offers communication facilitation between the community and the council, companies or associations working in the area. • It also assists social projects within the community that rely on community engagement. Creative Support This role of the Design Intern is intended to increase the sustainability of the ListenUp enterprise. Working for ListenUp is a good way for students to gain some experience before finishing their degree. • Two product design students will be hired by ListenUp to carry out the role of creative director, working closely with the members and the Board. • ListenUp will also provide an opportunity to connect small businesses within the community with creative talent.

Membership Anyone who lives in the area where ListenUp is operating can become a member. There will be no fee to become a member of ListenUp. The ListenUp members will be called Heroes. Heroes’ rights: • Holding a vote on main issues that are raised during projects carried out in their community. • Requesting / suggesting topics for consultation. • A Hero may apply to the Board for the position of “Superhero”. The Superhero will be a part of the management team and will be paid for acting as project manager. • Collaborating on consultation processes.

ListenUp GetGo Glasgow

Powers and working philosophy Projects funded by ListenUp The funding provided by ListenUp will never be used for any purpose other than improving community life, services or facilities. Any project to be carried out with that funding will always be in the best interests of the community. All funded projects must be in the interests of the majority and not detrimental to a significant minority of the community. No action will be taken in the neighbourhood without community engagement taking place following the conditions stated below. (See: Community Engagement Conditions)Funding for initial project development with residents can only be provided with the agreement of all the members of the Board. Community Engagement Conditions General Conditions Community engagement should actively aim to include all demographics. Encouraging youth involvement is key to it’s sustainable success. Internal Community Engagement Permanent ‘ear-posts’ will be provided by ListenUp within the community in order to have constant feedback and gather the voice of the community. The ListenUp website will also provide a space for community members comments as well as there being a ListenUp text number for those without internet access. The information gathered in those points will be analysed and evaluated. In the case that an issue becomes a general concern, it will be a priority for ListenUp to take action on it. Feedback Feedback both to and from the community and the stakeholders will be given in order to inform them about how their requests and suggestions have been taken into account. This openness is absolutely key to the success of ListenUp and to the building of trust within the community. After carrying out a project for an external organisation, every effort must be made to give feedback to the community. In case the external company does not follow the advice given through the community engagement, ListenUp will not take any responsibility for their actions. However, ListenUp will make the community aware of this fact. It has to be published that the organisation did not listen to the community’s voice.

Constitution cont. Glasgow School of Art (GSA) collaboration

Hero (member)

The recruited GSA students will automatically become members of the governance of ListenUp. The first students to work with ListenUp will be chosen by the steering group. Following students will be chosen by their predecessor, with agreement from the governance. In the case that this is not possible, a new student will be selected by the rest of the governance in collaboration with the GSA.

The Hero Membership is a voluntary position where community members sign up to ListenUp. These Heroes hold votes, and can bring up issues directly at board meetings. The Heroes should be willing to be managed by the Superhero during engagement projects and event work. Members from all demographics should be actively sought with young people particularly looked for as they are often under represented. Members can be of any age but only those over the age of 16 can vote.

Transparency The results and methods of every project carried out by ListenUp will be available at board meetings, on its website and from the Secretary. In order to ensure the economic transparency of ListenUp, reports on all income and expenditure will be made available in the same way. Structure The governance of ListenUp will consist of the Board and the Action Team (Superhero and the Design Interns). It is suggested that the Board (Chair, Secretary and Treasurer) is the same as these members of the Community Council.

Design Intern The post of Design Intern is a paid one-day-a-week position (split between two interns). The Designers work closely with the Superhero, and assume the role of creative director of a project and for any marketing material. The Designer must remain in touch with the Board and it’s members and respond to issues in the community. The Designer can also market and sell design services to local businesses to supplement ListenUp funds. This however is supplementary and should be not be the priority. All of the above persons are obliged to attend monthly board meetings (excluding Heroes who can attend as wished.)

Potential Growth of ListenUp

Secretary

The Secretary maintains a sound overview of ListenUp, especially in managing initial correspondence. The Secretary is responsible for helping the Chair to organise the content of board meetings and ensuring that required information is to hand. They should be able to provide contact details for key people on request.

Initially, ListenUp will be bound to the Wyndford community. However, it has the capacity to expand to other communities. In this case, a new governance with the same structure would be created in each community.

Treasurer The Treasurer advises the committee on financial matters, and of its financial requirements for the year ahead. The control and account for ListenUp’s finances is the responsibility of the Treasurer. Superhero As well as all member rights, the special post of Superhero is a paid one-day-per-week position.
