The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the recent allocation of financial aid from the National Lottery Community Fund to support good causes in Eastwood; recognises that a funding award of £9,500 has been made to Mearns Kirk Helping Hands, in Newton Mearns, which it believes to be an incredible community-focused charity that provides a range of support including for people living with dementia; further recognises that a funding award totalling £9,332 has also been made to the Back to SchoolBank East Renfrewshire, which is a group that provides school uniforms to children whose families are experiencing hardship; notes that £5,000 of funding has been made available to the Diversity Group and that this financial support will be used to reduce the social isolation experienced by people belonging to a minority ethnic group in East Renfrewshire, through the organisation of activities and workshops; further notes that the National Lottery Community Fund provides over £600 million of financial support to communities across the UK annually, and welcomes the recent award of funding to organisations covering Eastwood to support important community-focused activity.
