The Ferret and Greater Govanhill magazine have teamed up to examine responses to health inequalities as part of a new collaborative project – Mind the Health Gap.

Mind the Health Gap is a year-long project between Greater Govanhill and The Ferret, a Scotland-wide investigations media co-op. Working together with community members in Govanhill, we will examine the way inequality leads to poor health and shorter lives, and our stories will focus on responses to the problems we find.

Greater Govanhill are pleased to announce a free training course for members of the local community, which will introduce participants to journalism skills, which will then be applied to covering solutions to health inequalities.
