Change of dates! Thanks to those who've already signed up to our cooking classes with Julia taking place in April. ]

When we planned them we didn't realise that the 6th is Easter Monday and the library is shut, so we've shifted everything back a week and the dates will now be the 13th, 20th, and 27th April from 1:30-3:30.

We still have a few spaces for each session so email us at [email protected] if you'd like to take part!

Shop notice:
Dig In will be closed on Friday 27th March due to staff shortages. We’ll be back open as usual on Monday 30th, and open as usual tomorrow so make sure to come and get your veg if you can.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Back by popular demand! Julia will be running three cooking classes in April in the Elder Park Library kitchen.

You will learn how to make a selection of meals in a small group and have the opportunity to eat what you make together. The sessions will take place 1-3pm on Monday 6th, 13th, and 20th April.

Sign up by emailing [email protected] - spaces are limited so sign up quick to avoid disappointment. You can attend one, two, or all three classes, just let us know when you book.

We had another great pop-up event at Govan Cross last Saturday with lots of fruit and veg sold at affordable prices 🥕

In order to make the project a success we are still looking for more participants for the research side of the project.

We need 150 people who live in Govan and the surrounding area to complete questionnaires about their food habits. As a thank you for participating you will receive a £15 love2shop voucher. We will also be following up after the market pilot to see if there's any change in eating habits, and participants will receive another £15 voucher.

By participating you will help us to understand the impact of our fruit and veg stall, strengthening our argument for funders, and supporting us to continue. If you are interested in taking part, please contact the research team at [email protected]
