Children 1st Receives People’s Postcode Lottery’s Dream Trust Grant
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Children 1st on receiving a share of £1.5 million of funding from People’s Postcode Lottery’s Dream Trust, which it will distribute to Victim Support Scotland, Children England and the University of Edinburgh for a project, the House for Healing, to support child victims and witnesses of crime; notes that the revolutionary new house will be designed to protect, support and get justice for child victims and witnesses of crime; believes that this will be the first of its kind in the UK; notes that it is inspired by an internationally-renowned model, designed to feel like a family home and will be a space where children can give evidence, receive medical care, take part in decisions about their protection and get support to recover from the trauma that they have experienced; understands that the Dream Trust supports charities that wish to deliver highly innovative and engaging projects, including in the Edinburgh South constituency, and wishes these projects, and the House of Healing, every success.
