NICOLA Sturgeon will today launch a community shares scheme offering locals the chance to invest in Govanhill Baths.
Govanhill Community Baths Trust must raise the final £300,000 of the £6.4 million needed to redevelop Govanhill Baths as a new health and wellbeing centre.
People can now buy their shares online here.
Fatima Uygun, Trust Manager of Govanhill Baths Community Trust (GBCT), said: "Community Shares a great way for people to invest in local community assets.
"With the 3 per cent interest and a 30 per cent tax break on shares they are also a great financial investment.
"We need this £300,000 to cross the final hurdle and move ahead with the creation of the Wellbeing Centre, owned and run by the people of Govanhill."
Shares will be open for purchase from September 22 to October 22.
The B-listed building will have a gym, community café, community kitchen, hotdesk facilities for local businesses and meeting rooms.
