The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Greater Easterhouse Supporting Hands (GESH) charity for winning first prize in the Communities category in the first-ever Scottish Community Service Awards ceremony in Glasgow on 24 May 2010; notes that the Scottish Community Service Awards have been designed to commemorate and showcase the best community service projects in place across Scotland and to recognise how these projects help to address the behaviour of repeat offenders; acknowledges that GESH has worked with the community services in Easterhouse for over 20 years and has been at the centre of community projects that have helped young offenders turn their lives around with involvement in community painting and cleaning projects throughout Easterhouse, and wishes GESH well as it plans to expand its programme to involve the wider community of Easterhouse, including older people and other local voluntary groups in the east end of Glasgow.
