Are you based in Govan and interested in radio journalism? 🎙️

Our friends at Sunny Govan Community Radio are starting a community journalism project, beginning 25th August.

They're looking to bring together a group of local voices to tell stories from the Govan community, promote local businesses and events - all while helping you build your media and radio skills!

It's a brilliant opportunity for anyone in the G51 postcode. Get in touch with Georgia for more info 🙂

The Pantry is open 11-3pm Wednesday and Thursday - pop by and grab yourself some lovely fruit and veg before it's gone!
