Motion · S4M-14282 · 16 Sep 2015
Recognising the Work of the Corstorphine Dementia Project
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates everyone at the Corstorphine Dementia Project on it receiving £9,785 from Awards for All Scotland; understands that the project, which was established in 1991, costs £13,000 per year to run and is funded mainly by donations; believes that this grant will be used to support the running of its Teatime Club, which provides its members with an opportunity to have a meal with their loved ones; considers that, by allowing the family and spouses of members to share positive social experiences, it offers a particularly valuable service and mitigates the isolation often felt by people with dementia and their carers; recognises what it sees as the valuable role that it plays in maintaining the quality of life and self-esteem of people; commends all of the staff and numerous volunteers who have been involved with the project, which it considers plays a key role in the community, and hopes that it can continue to do so.
