Advertising with Greater Govanhill

 

Launched in 2020, Greater Govanhill is a free, award-winning, solutions-focused community magazine. We exist to break down cultural barriers, amplify marginalised voices, and bring people together through inclusive, community-led storytelling.

Based in one of Scotland’s most diverse and dynamic neighbourhoods, Greater Govanhill reflects the area’s rich mix of cultures, grassroots initiatives, independent businesses, and vibrant street life.

As an independent social enterprise, we don’t have big funders or corporate sponsors. Advertising with us means investing in trusted local journalism, supporting social impact, and helping to sustain a community-led initiative that reinvests profits back into the neighbourhood.
