Two Greater Govanhill articles have been shortlisted for Refugee Festival Scotland Media Awards, celebrating powerful, responsible coverage of refugee and asylum issues.

Arkbound Foundation ran a series of workshops at the Community Newsroom, attended by writers from across Glasgow. Over the course of six sessions, writers respond creatively to the cost of living crisis – through poetry, short stories, and reflective prose, highlighting the power of literature to document their experiences.

Two local writers shared their pen-scribbles on what the area means to them, in specially commissioned pieces for Greater Govanhill’s Arts, Culture & Subculture issue. This is Peter Mohan’s, Govanhill Just Won’t Stop.
