The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the recent award of finance for six community assets in Scotland, including Crookfur House in Newton Mearns, through round 3 of the UK Government's Community Ownership Fund; recognises that the Community Ownership Fund is part of the UK Government's Levelling Up initiative and that funding of £200,000 has been made available for Crookfur House; acknowledges that the funding award will be used to rejuvenate Crookfur House in order to establish a fit-for-purpose and needs-led community hub and finance improvements at the supported living estate, including a new cafe, community spaces and staff offices; understands that the latest round of Community Ownership Fund awards means that 47 community assets across Scotland have now received financial support through this project, with a total funding package of nearly £17 million; notes that the Community Ownership Fund supports projects that meet one or a number of set objectives, including, but not limited to, the remediation and refurbishment of an asset to ensure that it can have a sustainable long-term future, the relocation of a community asset to a different setting within the same locality, and allowing community groups to take ownership of an asset at risk to the benefit of local people; further notes that the Levelling Up initiative aims to create opportunities across the UK and empower communities to enhance their local areas; understands that the UK Government is now providing over £3 billion of Levelling Up finance throughout Scotland, and welcomes what it sees as this significant investment across the nation.
