If the Housing Association promotes the physical regeneration of the area, the Community Development Trust is involved in the social and economic regeneration.
A recent study by the Scottish Council Foundation identified Govanhill as an area in decline with little being done to arrest that decline. The Trust will work with partner agencies and local residents to halt that decline and, in the long run, improve the local community. Conference held at Holyrood School in February 2002.
The Trust has three strategic objectives:
To empower local people to play a significant role in regenerating their community
To help improve the quality of life for people living and working in Govanhill
