Corstorphine Dementia Project Launches the Jubilee Gazette
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the launch of the newspaper, The Jubilee Gazette, which is being put together by the Corstorphine Dementia Project in Edinburgh after finding that many of its members are missing being able to go to the shops and pick up a newspaper while they stay at home in response to the COVID-19 outbreak; congratulates the team in swiftly putting the first edition together; notes that its activity packs, crosswords and colouring pages are being appreciated by the group's members; recognises how positive the response has been, acknowledges that the lockdown period is a strain on most people's mental health and that dementia is mentally challenging, even in more normal circumstances; celebrates the community connection that it believes this fortnightly newspaper will maintain, and welcomes stimulation during isolation.
