The iconic Glasgow nightclub was denied access to the government's furlough scheme after it submitted paperwork late. 

The club is no longer asking for donations after it smashed targets to support the business and staff. 

In a lengthy statement, the club said: "The first phase of the Staff Hardship Fund will be launched over this weekend, with an initial £30,000 ringfenced to address any immediate financial distress experienced by any of our staff. Any staff member requiring assistance will be able to access the fund next week. The purpose of the Staff Hardship Fund is to address any shortfall in income experienced by members of the team as a result of furlough not being available or applicable.

"Based on the current total balance available we will be able to initially seed The Dazzle Fund to the tune of over £9000. The fund will be set up as a ‘not for profit’ organisation overseen by an independent panel and will be designed to donate to existing worthwhile causes, to set up direct action projects and to provide support to the wider Glasgow arts & music scene with a particular focus on marginalised communities.

"The money raised from the Crowdfunder will also be used to satisfy ongoing running costs and business commitments to ensure that the Sub Club is able to reopen with appropriate infrastructure in place when restrictions on physical distancing and other restrictive conditions are removed."

It comes after revaltions that one of the club's directors is the millionaire Usman Khushi, whose family owns Trespass and was seen to be flaunting his lavish lifestyle on social media. 

In the statement, the club addressed the controversy, saying: "Usi joined the Sub Club as a non-operational director in April 2019. His role in the company is purely advisory as a Non-Executive Director, and he has never taken a single penny out of the Sub Club. He has also committed to never doing so. As he mentions in his statement which he published on his own social media this week, Usi holds a minority share, has only ever put money into the company and will continue to support the business wherever he can.
