Key Engagements & Emerging Opportunities
Local Authorities & Politicians
Throughout the year, we strengthened relationships with key stakeholders across government,
education, community, and housing sectors to enhance service delivery and create new
opportunities for collaboration.
Local Government
Parliamentary Engagement
A local council leader attended our Open Day
and explored opportunities to support
community-focused infrastructure.
A national committee representative
expressed strong interest in our holistic
childcare support, particularly around
affordability and social impact. Plans for
ongoing dialogue were initiated.
Community Partnerships
A faith-based organisation supported us
through event hosting and equipment
provision. Discussions are ongoing regarding
further collaboration, including the use of
space for childcare delivery.
A visit was scheduled with a member of
parliament to discuss early years policy and
the broader implications of national insurance
reforms.
Housing Sector Engagement
Education Sector Collaboration
A meeting was held with a local housing
association to explore joint initiatives aimed
at improving access to funded early learning
and childcare for local families.
Secondary Schools: Students participated in
placements and work experience through
the Developing the Young Workforce (DYW)
initiative, supporting future employment
pathways.
Castlemilk: Building Stronger
Collaboration
Indigo has taken the lead on a collaborative
funding bid for the Holiday Food Programme,
partnering with six local organisations which
will enhance our community standing and
partnerships. In addition, we have formed a
new alliance with the Castlemilk Wellbeing Hub
CIC to explore joint service delivery models
focused on wellbeing support for children,
families, and staff.
