East Dunbartonshire Initiative for Creative Therapy
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates East Dunbartonshire Initiative for Creative Therapy, which has been awarded £3,149 by Awards for All Scotland to support its roll-out of regular contact with the people it supports via text messaging, phone calls and online platforms; believes that this regular contact will aid in reducing stress and feelings of isolation during the challenging time of the COVID-19 outbreak; acknowledges that the charitable group provides therapeutic arts sessions to people with additional support needs, with the aim of improving their physical and mental wellbeing and providing opportunities for socialising and interacting with others, and commends it for the invaluable work that it does in the community and for striving to adapt to the current situation so that it can continue to support its service users.
