Introduction

Upkeep Shettleston Community Enterprises Ltd (“Upkeep”) is a successful social enterprise, established in 2005. We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shettleston Housing Association (SHA) and a company limited by shares. ‘Upkeep’ is a commercial trading company with a turnover of around £2.5 million and employs 46 staff (44.4 FTE).

We have our own Board which operates in accordance with an Independence Agreement and a Service Sharing Agreement with SHA.

We provide SHA with a range of services including:

• Day to day and cyclical maintenance
• Void works and Major Repairs
• Stair cleaning, back court maintenance and bulk waste uplift.
• Landscape gardening

In addition to Shettleston, Upkeep also provides services on a much more limited scale to a range of other RSL’s and private clients.

From its inception in 2005, as an estate services provider, Upkeep grew rapidly in the ensuing years and built up an external customer base in addition to a fast-growing role in the delivery of SHA’s repairs and maintenance programme. We have always had a strong social purpose and focus on community benefit, particularly through the contribution we can make to local employment and training opportunities.
