Background

3D Drumchapel is a charity based in Glasgow that supports local families and children across the Drumchapel, Knightswood and Yoker areas. The organisation was formed in 1997 as a Mums and Toddler Group and over the past 20+ years has established itself as a key local service provider with strong community ties to the local area.

Need for Support

The Community Enterprise team have worked with 3D Drumchapel to create a sustainable business model and brand.

What we Did

Community Enterprise's first project with 3D Drumchapel was a feasibility study on capacity-building support programmes for parents in Drumchapel, Knightswood, and Yoker.

In 2021, 3D Drumchapel contracted Community Enterprise to undertake an external impact evaluation of their work. This work focused on capturing the impact of 3D Drumchapel across their various programmes, exploring the experience of service users, volunteers and key 3D partners, and considering future priorities for 3D Drumchapel and its community. 3D Drumchapel continues to use this evaluation to demonstrate its impact and support future funding bids. 

Based on the evaluation findings, Bold Studio worked with the organisation to rebrand itself.

In 2024, through funding from The Robertson Trust, Community Enterprise has been working with the team at 3D Drumchapel to develop a new strategy and examine the service's long-term sustainability.

Outcomes

The support that Community Enterprise has provided to 3D Drumchapel has allowed them to create a strong business model, better understand the impact of their work and develop a strong brand identity.
