Coorie Creative in Stirling

Lodged by Mark Ruskell (Scottish Green Party) Standard Motion 12 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends the work of the Coorie Creative in Stirling, which is a social enterprise that seeks to help survivors of trauma through therapeutic crafting; understands that the organisation runs a variety of projects to support marginalised and hard to reach groups by building community, and teaching skills in weaving, sewing and knitting; congratulates Coorie Creative on its recent success in partnering with the V&A Dundee; welcomes, in particular, its latest project, Nip & Tuck, which supports trans and non-binary people to alter their clothes, creating a safe space to volunteer and learn new skills, as well as connecting people at risk of social isolation; recognises how Coorie Creative's work promotes inclusivity, uses materials that often would have otherwise gone to landfill; encourages a slower more sustainable approach to fashion, and wishes all those involved in Coorie Creative all the best with their future work.
