Babes in the Wood Funding Award

Lodged by Dean Lockhart Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Babes in the Wood, which is based in Stirling, on securing £10,000 from National Lottery Community Fund grants; acknowledges that Babes in the Wood is a not-for-profit social enterprise that sells good quality, low cost children’s clothing that has been diverted from landfill to families in Stirling; understands that the funding will be utilised to bring on board a new member of staff from the local community, which will enable the social enterprise to accept more donations from the public; recognises the plans that the social enterprise has to create further volunteering opportunities for local residents in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the aim of bringing the community together following the prolonged period of isolation and separation; notes that National Lottery Community Fund grants are aimed at supporting communities to reduce isolation and improve wellbeing as COVID-19 restrictions are eased, and wishes all those involved in this social enterprise the best of luck in the future.
