A charity for people with additional complex needs has launched a petition after it was denied funding by Glasgow City Council.
Buddies Clubs and Services, which provides one-to-one support for children and adults as well as family respite, was among groups 'not recommended' for a discretionary grant from the Glasgow Communities Fund this week.
Bosses behind the club have now launched a petition to "seek transparency on who made this decision, how they came to this decision, the criteria surrounding this and to have this outcome rejected at the City Administration Committee next week".
So far, over 2000 people have signed the petition.
Jane Hook, Founder of Buddies, told Glasgow Live: "We are deeply grateful for all the interest and support which is being given in this petition and do hope that people will realise how much our organisation means to many families."
Glasgow Live reported at the weekend families were left "devastated" after the council denied the charity the grant.
Ms. Hook said they were relying on the money to pay staff wages and the decision had put other funds in jeopardy.
Decisions will be made this Thursday by the City Administration Committee.
A Glasgow City Council spokesman told Glasgow Live on Saturday: “Demand for grant support has been exceptional – with applications received for well over double the total value of the fund.
"Unfortunately, this was always going to mean disappointment for some organisations with applications that scored less highly during assessment.
“Decisions on citywide grants will be made at committee next week – followed by a further round of local awards."
