Battlefield Rest Raises £1,800 for the Glasgow Children's Holiday Scheme
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates the Battlefield Rest on raising £1,800 for the Glasgow Children's Holiday Scheme at its 25th anniversary "Thank You" dinner; notes that the Holiday Scheme provides breaks for children and their families in the Greater Glasgow area who are disabled, disadvantaged or socially excluded; acknowledges these are especially tailored to meet the young people's needs, offer an opportunity to assist in addressing the imbalance of support, aim to help motivate and equip families to break out of poverty and provide a fun experience in a safe environment; understands that around 500 children each year enjoy the experience, including around 100 young disabled people and many young carers, and that an estimated 250 adult family members also benefit, including couples, single parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles who act as carers and adult siblings; commends the Battlefield Rest on its fundraising, and wishes the Holiday Scheme well with its work.
