FARE: Family Action in Rogerfield and Easterhouse

Family Action in Rogerfield and Easterhouse is a voluntary organisation based in Easterhouse in the east end of Glasgow. A registered charity, F.A.R.E. was started in 1989 by local people who wanted to work together to “enhance the lives of the inhabitants of Rogerfield and Easterhouse.” through the delivery of services to meet their social, emotional and physical needs.

In 1997 F.A.R.E acquired premises and graduated from being based in a room within a local flat to moving into our current premises; a tenement block of six flats.

F.A.R.E has grown considerably since then. As geographical boundaries have expanded, so has the reach of F.A.R.E’s services; now over twenty staff and volunteers help with their delivery.

Our origin has never been forgotten. Many of the Board, staff and volunteers still live locally. We continue to capture and develop the enthusiasm, energy and talents of local people and we continue to strive to provide a range of services and opportunities to enhance the lives of residents from this community and beyond.
