Tailor Ed Foundation Funding
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates the Tailor Ed Foundation on receiving £120,000 from the Big Lottery Fund Scotland as well as securing additional funding from a range of sources that will secure the future of the organisation, which it understands has been recently threatened with closure; acknowledges that the organisation delivers support and specialised services to families living in Edinburgh raising a child with autism; highlights the approach of the foundation in providing both specialised educational methods that focus on an individual’s needs and motivations as well as the social support required to teach children with autism the skills that they need for daily life; considers that the additional funding will give Edinburgh families continued access to this level of support from the organisation and allow Tailor Ed to carry on its concentrated early years programme; commends the Tailor Ed Foundation on its continued work to support families of autistic children in Edinburgh, and wishes everyone involved every success for the future.
