Crossroads Youth & Community Association

We are Community Development Workers at Crossroads Youth & Community Association. Our women’s project ‘Building Inclusion in Govanhill (BIG)’ aims to alleviate the effects of social isolation and social exclusion experienced by women in Govanhill by creating opportunities for women to participate in local life; and to contribute to community cohesion in Govanhill by creating opportunities for women to build relationships of trust with one another and learn from each other. This is done through the delivery of a holistic and participant-led women’s project. We also aim to identify ways that women can influence and inform community life and services and currently this means exploring women’s experience and empowering women by arming them with rights-based information and knowledge.
