Quarriers 140 Years On
The motion
That the Parliament notes that 2011 is the 140th anniversary of the creation of Quarriers Village in Renfrewshire by the Greenock-born Glasgow shoemaker, William Quarrier; considers that Quarriers as a community gave welcome sanctuary down the years to thousands of children rescued from the horrible slums of Glasgow and other children living in dire poverty and now, as the Scotland-based charity Quarriers, by way of its dedicated, professional employees, provides care and support for children and adults with numerous mental and physical impairments and through social inclusion throughout Scotland and south of the border; offers sincere thanks and compliments to all at Quarriers, and hopes that what it considers their remarkable and compassionate service to those in need is given the recognition and financial support that they so manifestly deserve in the years to come.
