Govanhill Community Development Trust

A growing community of social enterprises in Govanhill is supporting residents with access to lifeline services on their doorstep, thanks to an initiative that aims to bring in third-sector organisations through affordable offices and commercial units.

Govanhill Community Development Trust, part of Govanhill Housing Association, has been awarded £478,565 to help Roma and Slovakian communities in Govanhill. The funding boost from The Big Lottery Fund Scotland will pay for family support programmes, literacy classes and integration projects.
