PEEK

PEEK was established in October 2000, in response to local people's calls for provision to be made for their children. It all began with a Development Worker and Voluntary Management Committee who took the project through a highly successful pilot year, which provided activities for more than 170 children between the age of 5-12years, in the Gallowgate and Calton areas. Since November 2001, PEEK staff has rapidly grown and it now employs 6 core members of staff, 15 sessional staff and 8 volunteers thanks to funding from many sources. In 2004 PEEK's age remit expanded to 5-16years with the introduction of a Youth Participation post thanks to the Social Inclusion Partnership. Further, in May 2005 the age range was extended again, to 18 thanks to the Local Action team who share PEEK's vision for the employability of its young people.
