Linthouse Community Shop
Linthouse Community Shop
“Linthouse Community Shop has been open now for over a year, however, recently relocated to a new shop–front space at 1121 Govan Road, on the local high–street. This site is run in partnership with Linthouse Housing Association, whose office is located across the road from the Larder, and who often refer their Tenants to us. The Larder stocks a wide range of fresh and ambient food items, as well as cleaning and hygiene products. Currently Linthouse Community Shop is open on Thursdays 10am – 1pm, however, as of September 2024, we will be opening Tuesdays 3pm – 6pm.
The Larder aims to address food poverty in the Linthouse, and wider Govan, neighbourhood, as well as provide the local community with the dignity of choice for their groceries, which was previously limited in the area. Linthouse Community Shop is open to all, there is no criteria for joining aside from the £1 monthly Membership Fee. In the future we hope to operate other services out of the Larder space, including energy and financial advisors“.
