Autism Social Enterprise Awarded £50,000 Grant
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Atlas, a social enterprise group that meets in the Reach for Autism Centre in Greenock, on securing £50,000 worth of Scottish Government funding to continue its work on breaking down barriers around autism; understands that the group's efforts include a stage play drama that attracted the attention of the First Minister, and that it has also provided training to the Scottish Government on autism; notes that Atlas has also delivered training for local police officers, teachers and people who run the children’s hearings system; recognises that, since the young people first started their push to change the way the public view people with autism, they have won national recognition and awards; acknowledges that the group plans to expand its training activities, set up an awards scheme and reach out to more youngsters who need support, and wishes it all the best for the future.
