Frankie Vaughan changed the face of Easterhouse in the late 1960's. Concerned by the gang warfare he saw among the young people, he co-ordinated a successful weapons amnesty. He gave money to set up the Easterhouse Project for local youngsters, donating the proceeds from his concert takings at Glasgow Pavillion. The project still helps young people from Easterhouse today.
