The service provides cycling activities for disabled children and adults, with secondary schools and primary schools using the track regularly.
Despite an ongoing campaign to see the cycling track at Free Wheel North transferred to a new owner, four workers were laid off suddenly last Wednesday.
Free Wheel North was referred to watchdog Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator over concerns around bullying and poor management and an investigation is under way.Norman Armstrong, who founded Free Wheel North in 2008, told the Glasgow Times previously that funding had been withdrawn due to the OSCR probe triggered by staff.
Mr Armstrong said he had sacrificed two thirds of his salary over 10 years in order to build up financial reserves"for the investment and growth" of Free Wheel North."None of the other three projects of the charity, that is both cafes and a woodwork project, have received a penny out of reserves, the cycling centre was the sole beneficiary.The staff have received political support from SNP MP Alison Thewliss and now Greens councillor Holly Bruce is backing workers.
Holly, the Glasgow Green Group’s Active Travel spokesperson, said:"There’s a clear dependency on this service which is not replicated anywhere else in the city.
