Some charities which missed out on funding have reported they face closure as a result.
More than £34.5million is set to be awarded to 165 projects run by community groups in Glasgow this week — but over 200 funding bids could be turned down.
It is recommended that 165 bids are successful while 223 are ruled unsuccessful. This breaks down to 58 winning applications in both the south and north east and 49 in the north west. Lambhill Stables, a community organisation, is set to get funding in the north west sector, with almost £528,000 recommended. It works to tackle poverty and inequality and “minimise disadvantages experienced by those with protected characteristics”. Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust, which asked for just over £418,000, isn’t recommended for funding in the north west category.
After the citywide funding was agreed, Cllr Christina Cannon, convener for education, communities and equalities, said the money would “help our citizens and communities most in need”. Across all four categories, 296 applications have been unsuccessful while 235 funding awards will be made. The fund will run from April 1 this year until March 31, 2026.
