A GLASGOW charity was forced to close due to increasing running costs.

The Southside Healing Hub, located on Ardencraig Street, announced the news on its Facebook page.

In a post, it said: "We are sorry we have had to close our doors due to no funding and the increase in our energy bills.

"Thanks to everyone for their support over the years, best wishes."

The organisation provided low-cost holistic therapies, such as massages and treatments, for the local community.

Service users took to the comments to express their sadness.

One person said: "I'm so sorry to hear this news.

"I used to love coming into the centre a few years ago. Best wishes to all the volunteers and hope that you find other opportunities to use your skills in the future."

Another comment read: "So sad, it was such a great place."
