The presentation discusses plans for the Dalmarnock Legacy Hub in Glasgow, Scotland, which aims to revitalize the Dalmarnock community. It will open in March 2015 as a community center and training facility. The Hub faces challenges in sustaining itself over the long-term and uniting old and new residents. In the short-term, it must attract local participation and secure diverse revenue streams. Long-term strategies include preventative health initiatives, partnerships, technology integration, and marketing to generate interest and revenue for sustainability.

10. The Legacy Hub has a mandate to assist the 1,700 remaining
residents, an area of high unemployment with substantial and
entrenched social issues for all age groups
The local residents are frustrated and cynical. Prospects remain
low in this area without local commerce, employment, or schools
3,000 residents will move into the Athletes Village following the
Games.
KEY FACTS
11. The Dalmarnock Legacy Hub will not open until March 2015. The existing and
new residents will be impatient and need to see progress on the promises made.
The Hub is funded for 3 years. Sustainability means that it must attract both:
Businesses needing training facilities
Residents to consume that training
The Hub must compete with established training centers in Glasgow, with a
mandate to deliver unique and modern training.
The community currently has no heart. Since the destruction of the old
community center, local residents have no place to gather. The Training Center
must also double as the community center, providing social activities, and serve
as the focal point to unite the old and new Dalmarnocks
KEY ISSUES
12. Address the anger of the community - steer dialog towards re-building a
cohesive and collaborative community
Attract foot traffic and participation activities for the first 24 months.
Secure balanced revenue streams from the community and enterprise
Engage Age-Based Demographic Segments by addressing their specific
social needs:
Children music
Adolescents pre-vocational training
Adults computer skills and entrepreneurial e-commerce skills
Seniors address isolation, depression through social activities
SHORT-TERM FOCUS
13. Develop Preventative Community Health Initiatives
Develop and extend sponsorships, partnerships and
alliances.
Continue to integrate technology to enhance engagement
and provide new-economy skills
Develop Marketing, Public Relations and Advertising to
generate interest, recognition and revenue.
