This club has been an asset to the whole community - young and old. It is the only place where I can let my teenage son go and feel confident that he will be safe. The discussions they have at the girl/boy groups are thought provoking and instill some much needed understanding and compassion about the issues them and others face. It would be a huge detriment to the whole community if the services were reduced.

As an Iwill Ambassador for Scotland and a voice for the youth, I’m disappointed to see fantastic youth organisations in this position. Youth organisations play a key role at unlocking a young person’s full potential and help them become the best version of themselves. Help keep them on the right path, off the streets and out of trouble.

More needs to be done children and teenagers need to feel safe not scared to leave there homes action needs to be taken and funding is crucial we should be able to let our children go to and from school feeling safe we shouldn't have the violence and anti social behavior as bad as it is this should not be normalised..

Such a great loss if the groups at the centre are to be closed due to lack of funds. This will affect so many people and families.

This facility is vital to the community. It gives the children opportunities to learn different ways of living and helps encourage them to make the right choices in life.
The holiday programmes are a vital support in this community. They keep the children active and give them a purpose during the holidays, a safe place to meet the friends and explore new opportunities. It is also essential for combating hunger during the holidays and may be the only means of being fed for some children.

Split this funding equally so the wonderful work goodtrees does for their local people can continue. Help the next generation see the worth of community and let them know they are valued

The community of Gracemount has been left to rot. Pavements are in terrible condition. Wheelie bins blocking pavements. Buildings in need of repainting. Just serious general neglect.

The lack of local facilities is a disgrace only to be compounded by the massive residential building underway in the South.

It's an absolute disgrace and they wonder why there is gang related trouble in the area if only the council got their act together with Education and teaching the kids at school there wouldn't be social deprivation keep up the good work

Goodtrees do amazing work, keeping the kids off the streets and out of trouble, helping them with social skills and personal problems.
The loss of this valuable club would have humongous consequences for the kids attending.
