There was “unprecedented demand” for funding this year, with applications totalling £3.4m for the £2m pot. Emily Cutts, from the Children’s Wood, which runs the G20 Holiday Club, said the money had been “invaluable” over the past two years. The club, which requested just under £28,000, has not been funded for the upcoming year. “We’re in the heart of the community and work with mostly Maryhill children,” Ms Cutts said. “As far as I’m aware there are no Maryhill-based groups who have been awarded the funding. “The benefit of linking holiday food to a programme of activities is that children will be purposefully involved and engaged with a group they trust and know food is just part of the programme.
