CONCERNED campaigners protested yesterday against cuts to vital funding for legal advice and community organisations in Glasgow.
Scottish Greens have also called on the First Minister for a long-term solution for Scotland’s lifeline services which are at risk, including Citizens Advice Bureau branches across Glasgow.
A multimillion-pound “transition fund” was announced by Glasgow City Council yesterday after officials had announced over 100 charities, groups and third-sector organisations would no longer be receiving financial backing.
But further support has been called for, with Scottish Green co-leader Patrick Harvie asking Nicola Sturgeon for a plan to help organisations losing funding from the Glasgow Communities Fund.
He told Holyrood: “It is unacceptable that our most vulnerable communities face being hardest hit by the economic fallout from Covid-19, so the Scottish government must intervene to bail out Glasgow.”
Ms Sturgeon welcomed the transition fund, saying this provided an opportunity to ensure organisations have security long term.
