Funding Success for the Children's Parliament and Tribe Porty CIC

That the Parliament welcomes the award by the Big Lottery Fund's Young Start programme of £99,930 to two organisations in the Lothian region; congratulates the Children’s Parliament in Edinburgh Northern and Leith, which received £50,000 to deliver an arts programme for children exploring bullying, and Tribe Porty CIC in Edinburgh Eastern, which received £49,330 to extend the provision of the Tribe Porty Youth Theatre group so that it can run an intergenerational theatre workshop and performance project for P5-S6 young people; acknowledges what it sees as the valuable work that these groups do in their communities, and supports the efforts of all such good causes.
