Empowering Govanhill through our Local Conversation

Local residents are ever more in control over the design and approach of Community Renewal Rom Romeha and our priorities. This is in part done through our Community Forum and in particular our People’s Health Trust funded project called Local Conversations. This programme is all about listening to local people and build up their collective voice for community action.

The resident’s vision is: empowered, sustainable, collective Local Conversation community action at the heart of campaigning for Govanhill e to be a beautiful place, where no one gets left behind and a healthy community thrives. The way we have been asked to do this is to build capacity of the community to design, deliver, promote and govern their own sustainable community action including helping them grow their own fundraising, diversity, and lobbying.

Local residents have established three priorities: 1) bringing the community together to reduce social isolation and to collectively take action on housing and rights issues; 2) improving the local environment; and 3) giving young people opportunities for their voice to be heard.
