The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Nevis Ensemble on receiving a £10,000 grant from Creative Scotland; understands that the group will use the funding to organise music sessions for older people with dementia, refugees and women affected by domestic abuse; acknowledges that this is a carefully plotted patchwork of community-based performances; understands that partnerships with voluntary and third sector organisations are nurtured to ensure that the most vulnerable and marginalised in society do not miss out; notes that the musicians hone their specialist skills in working with the very young, the very old and those who face challenges in their lives, knowing that access to great live music provides a huge wealth of benefits, particularly to health and wellbeing and social cohesion; further notes that through tailored sessions, this project will use music to improve people's skills, wellbeing and integrate communities, and believes that these sessions will run in parallel to a "fast and furious public pop-up performance schedule".
