ng homes was established in 1976 as a community controlled housing association, originally formed by a group of residents with the aim to protect and improve tenements in their area of Springburn and to start building a new future.
Over the years the Association has seen much change and during this time has built a strong reputation for serving people and our communities.
Our community pages contain information and links to support our communities to flourish and prosper. From educational and training opportunities to family-friendly events, find out about what's happening in your community, including support and wellbeing resources, information on ng homes' and community events and opportunities to have your say.
