If you're in Govanhill, Glasgow, and looking for a place to hang your hat, you're in luck: The Govanhill Community Development Trust has secured 30 affordable office and commercial spaces, thanks to a grant from the Community Anchors Fund Glasgow and a partnership between the Virgin Money Foundation and the HFD Charitable Foundation.
