Reinstate Funding for the Outward Bound Trust

Lodged by Miles Briggs (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 27 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises what it sees as the tremendous work that the Outward Bound Trust has done for disadvantaged children across Scotland; commends the Outward Bound Trust on its Mark Scott Leadership for Life Award, which aims to develop the talents of young people, enhancing their self-confidence, resilience and knowledge of how to work together effectively with others; understands that the Trust is reliant on public funding from the Scottish Government; notes that over 150 young people from around 60 schools across central Scotland take part annually, and requests that the Scottish Government reviews its reported decision to withdraw the £75,000 in funding for the award, which it believes has made such a difference to young people in Scotland.
