Ormlie Community Association (OCA) has spearheaded a regeneration project for the last 25 years, addressing a wide range of social, environmental and economic problems linked to the Ormlie estate. The area was designated a social inclusion area and was hugely stigmatised by lack of investment and support from the statutory agencies. Through hard work and determination by OCA, the Ormlie estate is now no longer in the top 15% of Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) figures. OCA works with all sectors of the community to help develop the skills and knowledge of residents thus empowering them to have a voice in their community. We also work with a range of agencies/partners to help bring about change to the estate through project specific initiatives.
