Collydean Community Centre, Providing Vital Services During the Pandemic
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates everyone at Collydean Community Centre in Glenrothes for the hard work that they do and for playing a key role in supporting families and individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic; understands that the community centre is a not-for-profit charitable organisation that lies at the heart of Collydean and serves the Collydean, Pitcairn, Formonthills, Balgeddie and Coul communities in Glenrothes, providing vital services for the area, supported by a team of over 80 volunteers; commends the centre for distributing food to those in crisis throughout the last year, as well as recently employing community champions to work at a local level to provide direct support for those who require it; welcomes the roll-out of the centre's digital connections support service to help people access technology and communicate online, which has become vital due to restrictions on meetings in person; recognises that the centre also operates a shopping and prescription collection service for those shielding or self-isolating, as well as a youth club and a befriending service, and believes that frontline workers and volunteers such as these deserve everyone's thanks and recognition for their delivery of first-class support to communities throughout the pandemic.
