North Edinburgh Community Support

That the Parliament recognises the key role that North Edinburgh Arts is playing in supporting its community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic; commends its innovative Scran Academy, which is providing hot meals in Muirhouse and Pilton; applauds Muirhouse Low Income Families Together, Granton Community Gardeners, Spartans Community Football Academy and the Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre which are all delivering packed lunches; notes that Fresh Start, Muirhouse Low Income Families Together, Bethany Gateway, Forthview Primary School, and the Drylaw Rainbow Club Centre are also providing food, cleaning and toiletry packs across the north of the capital; welcomes the work of the Cyrenians in supporting homeless people and refugees, and acknowledges the vital role that community-run organisations are playing and, it believes, will continue to play as the country emerges from the pandemic.
