Fears Scots kids will become victims of violence after brutal funding cuts to youth centre

Youth workers fear their kids will become victims of violence as their centre is hit with brutal council funding cuts.

Teenagers using the service at YMCA in Bellshill, North Lanarkshire, have told how they face roaming the streets with nowhere else to go. The group, which helps vulnerable youths through its Early and Effective Intervention Service has been told it has lost around £100k per year through the programme.

It comes as the Daily Record's Our Kids, Our Future campaign calls on the Scottish Government to invest in more community support amidst a series of violent attacks on teens.
