A number of projects in Glasgow are set to benefit from a share of £450,000 of lottery funding.

Youngsters living in the Govanhill, Pollokshields and Kinning Park areas of the city will benefit from an award of £45,000 from the Young Start Fund, run by the Big Lottery Fund.

The Southside Youth Work Support Agency will work with young people aged between 14 and 19 to find opportunities that are open to them when they leave school.

Big Lottery Fund Scotland chair Maureen McGinn said: "With this funding, children and young people across Scotland will be able to unlock their talents through a wide range of activities.

"These are designed to engage and inspire them to follow their dreams while also building skills and confidence for the future.
