# A Workshop and presentation given by our host, Anne Dundas at Reidvale Housing Association . A community- led social economy project which first saved and then refurbished this part of Duke Street . Commencing in 1975 by refurbing a single one room apartment, the project has grown today to a 2.6 million pound turnover with responsibility for over 1100 homes , both rented and sold to the local community at affordable prices. This remarkable story was the subject of the BBC 2 documentary ” The Secrets Of Our Streets ” and is a truly inspirational example , serving as a lesson of what working class communities , in this case a majority of women volunteers , can achieve through bloody-minded hard work and integrity .
Dr Adamson OBE as Patron of our group presented copies of his book Dalaradia and our just published Old Testament in Plain Scots , this is the first time ever that the Old Testament has been translated into a standardised form of the Scottish Language and grammar!
Reidvale Housing Association is at 13 Whitevale Street , Glasgow , 01415542406
Quote ” enjoyed meeting you all today and was blown away with Bibles and Ian’s book . Hope your organisation continues to grow strong , if we can help in anyway please let us know .”
