Founded in 1992 during a time of communities changing. A group of local residents from Glasgow's East End form Geeza Break with the aim of providing community-based support and high quality, nurturing respite. This support was to help those families who had been separated across different areas of Glasgow by the regeneration of the city. Support and respite that was previously provided by extended family could now, instead, be provided by the extended community of Geeza Break. Unfortunately, the vacuum left over by these changing communities resulted in new problems coming to the fore. Drug abuse and poverty. These issues are still prevalent today and Geeza Break has grown as an organisation to further help the communities of Glasgow's Northeast. Partnerships have been created with social work and addiction services to offer an intermediatory, non-judgemental, support, ensuring that families stay together and come out stronger.
