A request for funding of £5000 to purchase “essential items” at a Glasgow food bank has been rejected - because of the “thousands” of donations it receives from the public.
Crookston Community Group had applied to the Cardonald Area Partnership for the grant which would have allowed them to restock their storeroom at Ladymuir Crescent.
The foodbank, which works with local housing authorities, the NHS and schools, is experiencing an increased number of people relying on their service through referrals from partner organisations as well as first-time self-referrals.
