The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Parklea Branching Out on securing £1.1 million of funding from the Scottish Government’s Regeneration Capital Grant Fund 2022-23 to redevelop the charity’s Port Glasgow facility into a multi-purpose community hub; understands that this cash boost will pave the way for improvements to existing facilities and outdoor areas and allow for the creation of a new building featuring offices, meeting spaces, accessible toilets and changing rooms, a community café, training facilities and garden retail space; recognises that Parklea Branching Out was established in 1997 and uses horticulture to provide training, work experience, supported employment, and recreational and social facilities for a variety of people, including young people and adults with additional support needs; commends all those involved in helping make this bid a success, and wishes the staff and volunteers at Parklea Branching Out all the best for the future as they bring their plans to fruition.
