The charity has been fighting to find affordable, secure premises for more than two years.
STAFF and volunteers at a Southside charity which has been running for almost 40 years have been left “totally devastated” over news it will shut down at the end of this month.
GPA helps to save tonnes of waste materials from going to landfill each year, and its scrapstore and craft activities are used by schools, nurseries and hundreds of city art school students.Project co-ordinator Sarah Paterson said: “The GPA family are totally devastated that after championing reuse, recycle and repurpose for 39 years, way before it was even a ‘thing’, we are now having to close our doors for the final time.
The Glasgow Times revealed in February that closure looked likely unless a suitable home could be found, and the charity was given a six-month extension. In addition to its recycling and scrap store services, GPA runs a community room providing pre-loved household items, clothes, shoes and toys at cheaper prices.
