Midlothian charities are to stage protests after recent proposals by the council to pull all of their funding.
The cuts forecast by Midlothian Council will see a 100 per cent reduction to grants received by large and small charitable groups.
This is predicted to have a “catastrophic” impact on services such as counselling for young people, mental health groups, community cafes and food banks which could all be lost. Valued local organisations such as HSL transport and Volunteer Midlothian are among those to be affected.
