Borders Children’s Charity
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Borders Children’s Charity on what it considers to be its valuable and important work supporting children in the Borders for over 45 years; recognises the hard work of volunteers and the difference that they are making by providing practical support to local children who, through no fault of their own, find themselves in desperate situations; further recognises that, in 2011, Borders Children’s Charity raised £28,000, which funded, among other things, 54 beds, help for 75 young carers and the participation of 250 children in activities and ensured that 68 children could go on school trips; understands that successive generations of those running the charity have done so without payment thereby ensuring that 100% of donations is spent on those children in need, and thanks all involved in Borders Children’s Charity, past and present, for the difference that they are making to the lives of local children.
