'A few organisations are experiencing challenges to cover the costs.'
Community organisations struggling to manage council owned buildings will be given at least one year of support from the local authority while they look for funding methods, it has been revealed.
As it stands, 14 organisations have successfully progressed into the development phase of the process, with occupation agreements finalised prior to commencing management of venue. An update was brought before the environment committee yesterday where Labour councillor Jill Pidgeon asked if any groups taking part in the PMGC scheme had faced difficulties.
A council officer confirmed that there were a number of organisations that found it difficult to manage the facility themselves and were provided an information pack by the council. “We are putting in place this interim arrangement so that they have a year working with us on funding applications for revenue funding so they can take on a longer term arrangement.”
Councillor Ruairi Kelly, Convener for Neighbourhoods Services and Assets at Glasgow City Council, said: “People Make Glasgow Communities is all about transferring power and control to our communities and changing places and people’s lives for the better. We’ve seen how successful community empowerment has been in rural Scotland and it’s now taking hold in our biggest city.
