About Govanhill Baths:
Govanhill Baths Community Trust’s goal is to reopen the Govanhill Baths as a Wellbeing Centre and to contribute to the wider social, cultural and built regeneration of Govanhill as a community through a range of activities. Govanhill Baths Community Trust was born out of a vibrant and historic community campaign to save the historic baths in 2001 from closure. The community spirit and commitment has resulted in Govanhill Baths being back in community ownership as a vital community asset. The ethos of Govanhill Baths has always been: ‘Run for the community, by the community’. Today it is a social business with effective local partnerships and a commitment to transforming/regenerating our community for the benefit of local people
