Cumbernauld Action and Care for the Elderly

That the Parliament commends Cumbernauld Action and Care for the Elderly (CACE) for promoting the welfare of vulnerable older people and their carers in Cumbernauld and surrounding areas; recognises that CACE supports over 200 individuals in the community with mental and practical needs each month; is aware that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased demand for such services while funding has become scarce, and calls on local authorities across Scotland to move from annual funding grants to three- or five-year grants, allowing organisations such as CACE to plan for upcoming challenges.
