Evening TimesPROJECT set up to help keep kids off the streets could shut due to a funding crisis, it was claimed today.
Parkhead Youth Project is used by around 500 youngsters aged eight to 24 but it faces the axe amid funding cuts.
Socialist MSP Rosie Kane has tabled a parliamentary motion demanding a reprieve for the project.
Ms Kane, a former youth worker, said: "I was approached by one of the youngsters who uses the centre. She told me there was nowhere else for young people like her to go to.
"The future is bleak for young people if we are going to close a well-used centre like this and at the same time start punishing kids for hanging about the streets, where they often end up in the criminal justice system.
"How are these young people going to find an outlet for their energy and needs if this place is closed?"
