That the Parliament congratulates four local groups on successfully securing National Lottery funding for projects, which, it understands, will directly benefit constituents of the Falkirk East constituency; understands that Bailliefields Community Hub received £87,725, which will support works to ensure accessibility of the hub for all visitors and the employment of a community hub coordinator to develop and support the community programmes; notes that Bo'ness Car 4U SCIO received £7,232 to continue the development of its hospital transport service for cancer patients by providing training and a support base for its volunteers; recognises that Glass Performance Ltd received £199,495 to deliver a programme of creative activities at HMP Polmont, including weekly workshops and three annual performances, with the aim of building confidence, reducing isolation and increasing positive communication between participants; notes that Grangemouth Community Care also received £6,000 to provide free transportation for older people in the community, allowing them to attend weekly lunch clubs; highlights what it sees as the importance of National Lottery funding to such community groups, facilitating their ability to assist their local communities, which, it considers, is all made possible by players of the National Lottery; congratulates the projects that were successfully awarded grants to further benefit their local communities, and looks forward to seeing all of the projects develop further as a result of this funding.
