The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.

Govan Community Project is a charity based in south west Glasgow. Originally a response of community members to the needs of newly arrived asylum seekers, GCP has since developed to work with and provide support services, projects & activities for all the local community & beyond.

Story

Finally after a long winter of playing in a tiny hall, we have found a lovely space outdoors and provided at no cost, for our mixed team of refugees, locals and an Englishman, but we have run out of money to help get people travelling across the city to join us. 

Many people cycle, walk and run to play football with us, but others have been relocated to further parts of the city without choice, and although they would like to keep playing football with us, it is very hard for folk seeking asylum to be able to afford bus/train tickets when they have only £5 p/day in support payments or have been made destitute.

We are looking for people to support us so we can continue to help folk with travel expenses, and thereby play/train until the end of June and get to the point of playing some matches!
