The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the introduction of the charity drive, Resident Rewards Edinburgh Gives Back, launched by Forever Edinburgh in partnership with One City Trust; understands that the initiative will grant free leisure and cultural experiences to people living in poverty or facing social inequality in Edinburgh; recognises the support of local tourism businesses, which have provided almost 500 free experiences to people who would otherwise not be able to access them; commends the work of One City Trust, an independent charity that will be distributing experiences to its network of partners and community groups, and believes that access to leisure and culture is important to wellbeing, and that every person should have the opportunity to experience events and attractions in their home city.
