Govanhill Baths Community Benefit Society (GBCBS)
.
The purpose of Govanhill Baths Community Benefit Society (GBCBS) is to ensure the building remains in the hands of the community. This is achieved through exclusive charitable objects and a charitable asset lock, preventing members from making a capital gain by selling or closing the business for a profit. Therefore, the Baths will never be able to become privately owned and taken out of community ownership.
.
GBCBS is a charitable community benefit society registered in 2017 under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act, with the Financial Conduct Authority (registration number: 7621). The Society is a democratic community-owned social enterprise, and is run by a board of directors, elected annually by its members.
