Culture and Sport Glasgow Trading
A thriving council trading arm designed to fund and deliver cultural and leisure services.
In 2007 Glasgow City Council created a charitable trust 바카라 사이트� Culture and Sport Glasgow 바카라 사이트� to look after all of the city바카라 사이트檚 museums, galleries and leisure services.
Glasgow Life (a trading name created after a rebranding exercise in 2010) currently runs over 140 venues across the city including world class facilities such as Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, The Burrell Collection, The Mitchell Library (the largest public reference library in Europe), Scotstoun Stadium and Leisure Centre, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and the newly opened Riverside Museum, created by world renowned Architect Zaha Hadid.
In 2007 a linked trading company called Culture and Sport Glasgow Trading CIC was also established. The CIC trading arm oversees the management and development of commercial activities that Culture and Sport Glasgow cannot undertake as a charity. The creation of these two new bodies has allowed services to be delivered more efficiently, with savings over the four years now reaching more than 拢35m.
바카라 사이트淭he creation of Culture and Sport Glasgow has allowed us to continue to deliver key services to the people of Glasgow and to our visitors at a time of significant financial pressures for the entire public sector, 바카라 사이트� says Director of Finance, Martin Booth. 바카라 사이트淏eing an independent charity has allowed us to do things differently and to be more innovative than ever before.바카라 사이트�
The CIC trading arm oversees the management and development of commercial activities that Culture and Sport Glasgow cannot undertake as a charity. The CIC creates income through three main areas: retail in museums, daytime catering in Culture and Sport Glasgow venues, and venue hire. This income is gift aided to Culture and Sport Glasgow to help it carry out its work.
