More than £34.5million is set to be awarded to 165 projects run by community groups in Glasgow this week — but over 200 funding bids could be turned down.
Third sector organisations have been bidding for cash from the council’s three-year Communities Fund which totals almost £56m.
With just over £6.5m set aside for financial support groups, almost £50m was left over to be shared between other bodies. However, 436 competent bids were received, requesting £136.5m.
