CHARITIES in Drumchapel could be waiting months before being able to work from their community base again - despite being locked out for more than a year. The Drumchapel Community Centre - which is home to multiple charities including 3D Drumchapel, G15 Youth Group and Thriving Places - was closed following the initial lockdown last March. Local groups were hopeful they would be able to resume activities as restrictions began to ease, however, a newly opened walk-through testing site has prompted fears of yet another lengthy delay. 3D Drumchapel CEO Sharon Colvin said: ”This leaves us with nowhere to deliver our services at this time when families really need us the most . we are concerned it is not a building on the list to be reopened by Glasgow Life going forward.
