Govanhill Baths Community Trust Charity

About

A 'local' charity shop with an amazing and ever changing array of fabulous things to buy at affordable prices!

Story

Elaine C Smith opened our first Charity Shop in Calder Street in August 2007. The shop was not only a response to the GBCT’s need to raise funds but also to assist local people who we knew would benefit from a regular flow of recycled goods - as would the environment!

You name it we have it - books, clothes, foot-wear, jewelry, watches, toys, CD’s, DVD’s, video tapes, ornaments, kitchen equipment, bed-linen, curtains, all manner of bric-a -brac and electrical goods. Some of the best bargains on the Southside!

The shop provides opportunities for voluntary work and this leads to employability skills for local people. Some 30 volunteers currently contribute and our manager, Inga Zaiceva is the friendly face always ready to help and assist.

The shop is a thriving hub of activity where many people meet and chat as they browse our wide range of goods. We are continually astonished by the amount of goods local people contribute – the flow is endless. However, if you have anything that you think can be resold please do bring it along or contact us (as below) for it to be uplifted.

This magnificent new shop, will soon have additional services (Riches and Rags) such as a tailoring and altering service as well as being home to a sewing network!

So, pop in and browse, have a chat with our friendly staff about any donations you may have. We can uplift if necessary. Remember all proceeds go towards the re-opening of Govanhill Baths something everyone wants on Glasgow's southside!
