The aim of the association is to assist residents with concerns or issues in the local area as well as promoting community involvement. Please keep an eye out for our newsletter (twice yearly in spring and autumn) when it arrives as it contains all the latest news affecting the area as well as letting you know about any social and fund-raising events that you may be interested in attending or participating in. There is also a letters page to voice opinions or raise awareness of something that you think others in the area need to know about.
We have a membership of 651 households and you automatically become a member if you live in the Scotstoun Conservation Area. Every year we hold a general meeting and as a member you are invited to attend and raise any concerns that you may have.
We are always looking for assistance and volunteers as well as new committee members. If you wish to become involved with the work of the Residents Association please contact us at info@scara.org.uk The Committee meet on the first Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm (except January, July and August).
Please note that we rely on donations in order to provide our services and we suggest a small yearly donation of £2 to help towards our running costs. If you would like to make a donate please contact info@scara.org.uk
If you are new to the area then one of the best ways to get to know your way around might be to contact our committee and perhaps join one of our monthly meetings which, in the meantime are held on the second Tuesday of each calendar month by zoom. Inquire by email to
info@sccara.org.uk .
OUR NEWSLETTER. We compose, print, publish and circulate a Newsletter twice a year and the Winter edition went out at about the end of December 2021. It is a lot of work which currently falls on very few volunteers to produce this item and we would ask you, first of all, to consider sending a simple email to
info@scara.org.uk just to acknowledge that you have received the Newsletter. Better still if you would let us have a comment as to its contents. Better still again if you would let us have a suggestion or even some material that might assist us with the next edition.
