Red Hat Events
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Naomi Anderson on her successful application to Firstport’s Social Entrepreneurs Fund, receiving a grant to set up Red Hat Events; notes that Red Hat Events is a social enterprise based in Fife that provides what it considers are high quality social events and opportunities for men and women to make new social connections; understands that the programme of events will appeal to all ages but specifically targets those aged 50 to 70; welcomes the fact that the project aims to reduce social isolation, increase inter-generational activity and build a sense of community, stave off conditions such as Alzheimer’s and stress and to increase the fitness levels of those in the target group with a view to reducing healthcare costs; commends Naomi for addressing the demand by this target group for the opportunity to participate in new activities, and wishes her every success with the project.
