The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Scourie Community Development Company on winning the Working with Communities Award, sponsored by the MacRobert Trust, at the national Helping it Happen Awards, which is organised by Scottish Land and Estates; notes the company's outstanding community work throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by ensuring that the area was supported with a food larder in the village shop, provided with access to mental health support and that funding was provided to help people whose livelihoods were impacted by the lockdown; welcomes the sports pavilion built by the company that is used by the whole community and the seasonal treats the company provides, such as the three-course Christmas lunch for 78 older people and Easter and Christmas goody boxes for all of the children in the area; commends the company’s commitment to community regeneration, and applauds its aims for more sustainable projects to be developed.
