A community greengrocer in Govan has reopened after more than a year of closure.

Dig In, located on Crossloan Road, had to shut its doors when funds ran dry, much to the disappointment of residents.

However, with new financial backing from the National Lottery, the non-profit shop owned by Elderpark Housing is now back in business.

The shop is a key resource for the Govan community, offering nutritious fruit and vegetables at significantly reduced prices.

It helps families eat healthily while cutting down on their weekly food bills.

Elderpark Housing has described the reopening as a "game changer to help tackle the cost of living crisis."

The housing association, in collaboration with the Dig In board, secured a year of funding from the National Lottery, with hopes of extending this for a further three years.

Additional funding from the GRID Civic Grants Fund will be used to organise "pop up fruit and veg themed open days" on Saturdays throughout the year.

Thalia Groucott, who oversees the shop, said: “A community shop offering low cost fruit and veg and some other dry goods such as lentils at affordable prices just makes sense while food prices increase and it becomes harder for people to buy the good quality nourishing food that they want.”

Jonathan Giddings-Reid, community regeneration officer at Elderpark, said: "It’s great that Dig In is back.

"The National Lottery have been a wonderful support in getting the doors of Dig In open again.

"The shop has a special place in the Govan community and people recognise its important role in fighting food poverty and delivering food dignity."
