Motion · S5M-22806 · 22 Sep 2020
Funding for Community Leisure
The motion
That the Parliament notes reports of increasing concern across the community leisure and culture sector at the precarious financial position in which independent charitable trusts find themselves after a long period of restricted operations due to COVID-19; understands that this places the future of many swimming pools, libraries, cultural facilities and leisure centres at risk; recognises their central role in providing vital health and wellbeing services for many vulnerable communities and the many thousands of jobs that are at risk, and calls on the Scottish Government to recognise the trusts' unique position and provide a viable and targeted scheme of priority rescue funding.
