Glasgow Afghan United

That the Parliament congratulates Glasgow Afghan United, which is a community-led organisation in the Maryhill and Springburn constituency that seeks to improve the lives of Afghan people and a wide range of ethnic minority communities, on being awarded £9,350 by the National Lottery Community Fund to deliver community events and training sessions; notes that it will recruit at least 10 volunteers, run an "English café", which will give its service users a chance to improve their language skills, organise arts and crafts sessions, offer day trips to visit historical sites and run multicultural events; believes that these activities will promote socialising and integration, help alleviate isolation and allow people to play a bigger role in their communities; welcomes the group's work in promoting sport, health and wellbeing, social integration and active citizenship, and commends its partnership and cross-organisational approach in bringing together the area's diverse communities.
