Lodged by Sharon Dowey Standard Motion 26 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the news that the Ayr and Prestwick Men’s Shed is set to receive funding from the National Lottery’s Community Fund; believes that the group will use the funds towards its first year of expenses in its new unit to help pay the electricity and rental fees; understands that the group is a charitable not-for-profit organisation and has been working hard to renovate an industrial unit; further understands that the aim of the group is to provide a safe space where men can work on projects and hobbies and get involved in activities to increase their health and wellbeing; commends Chairman, George Rae, volunteers and all involved for their hard work, which, it believes, will benefit the community, and wishes them all the very best for the future.
