Author Peter Ross joined campaigners at the Couper Institute Glasgow Life lost £38m last year due to lockdown and its estimated income for 2020/21 is around £6.4m. An agreed council funding deal will see Glasgow Life receive a guaranteed £100m for the next four years to open 90 out of its 171 venues. Without further funding, they say they cannot reopen any more venues. It is why The Herald has launched A Fair Deal for Glasgow campaign calling on both Scottish and UK governments to agree a new funding deal for Glasgow’s culture and leisure and venues of national and international significance.

More than 500 jobs will go from Glasgow Life in the wake of the pandemic and it has led to a call for answers on the future of the service as politicians reacted with fury at the losses. The extent of the job cuts from the charitable organisation, which runs museums, libraries and sporting facilities for Glasgow City Council, was met with disbelief.
