Filmmaker's synopsis:
This is an unofficial story of a housing association in Glasgow by one of its tenants and one of members of its Management Committee.
Glasgow West Housing Association’s history can be dated back to 1978 when Hillhead Housing Association was established by two churches in the West End of Glasgow: Wellington Church and Hillhead Baptist Church. It started as a small housing association, but it developed gradually through mergers and the transfer of housing stocks from Glasgow Housing Association to become a medium-size housing association with about 1,500 housing units. What are values and views that have shaped this organisation? Interviews were carried out with those who played key roles in its development.
