The future of vulnerable children in Glasgow is precarious as the MCR Pathways school mentoring scheme faces potential funding cuts. Comedian Zara Gladman voiced concerns over the impact on disadvantaged youth who rely on the program for support and guidance. With Glasgow City Council reviewing the budget, the scheme’s future hangs in the balance, leaving many mentors like Dr. Gladman worried about the children who may miss out on vital opportunities. Founded in 2007, MCR Pathways has been a beacon of hope for over 2,000 young people each week, offering a lifeline through mentorship and support. The positive outcomes seen in retention rates, attainment levels, and overall well-being of participants underscore the importance of preserving this invaluable program. As stakeholders weigh the consequences of funding decisions, the pressing question remains: will Glasgow’s most vulnerable children bear the brunt of these looming cuts?
