SCOTLAND’S first community-based housing association is going gold to mark its 50th anniversary. Govan Housing Association was formed in 1971 in a trail-blazing move that led the way for others to follow. Now the association is poised to mark the milestone with a series of events putting the community at the heart of celebrations. The pandemic has understandably changed the association’s celebration plans but there is increasing confidence that with restrictions being eased, celebratory events will go ahead. Chief Executive Fiona McTaggart said: “This is a momentous year for Govan Housing Association and one we are confident the community can join us in celebrating.
