A community centre in the south of Glasgow is in for a £1 million pound refurbishment thanks to a big lottery grant.

The Kinning Park Complex will use the cash to refurbish and develop its popular multi-use community centre for local groups, artists and musicians.

It's hoped the award will be used to give the centre a new lease of life, providing studio space for artists, an events and performance space for community groups, a kitchen and a garden.

Maureen McGinn, Big Lottery Fund Scotland Chair, said: "Every time someone buys a National Lottery ticket it raises vital funds which can help local community groups to change lives.

"I am delighted that £4.3 million of this funding is today going to projects to create stronger, more connected communities across Scotland.

"I wish each of these groups every success as they go on to expand their work for the benefit of thousands of people, many of whom are going through a difficult time in their lives."
