A Scotstoun community centre will need to “scale back” services after missing out on council funding — and a “catastrophic” closure looms if more money can’t be found.
Heart of Scotstoun’s bid for cash from Glasgow’s Communities Fund was unsuccessful, leaving the Balmoral Street venue struggling for funds.
The charity runs 18 of its own groups while other third sector organisations, clubs and the community also use the building. Currently, it’s open six days a week, with the occasional Sunday, but operating costs are increasing.
