The motion

That the Parliament congratulates City Building's apprentice painters and decorators, who renovated the interiors of FAREPlay Stepford, the home to Easterhouse Football Academy in Glasgow; notes that the academy, which has more than 400 registered players, provides a pathway into football for boys and girls from the age of four; understands that the apprentices repainted key areas of the facility, including the changing rooms, bathrooms, internal corridors, reception and communal areas; considers that their work has created a fresh and welcoming environment for players and staff alike and ensures that children of all backgrounds can enjoy football in a setting that fosters inclusion and positivity; recognises that the initiative was part of a project to help the apprentices grow their skills and contribute to communities, and believes that City Building’s apprenticeship programme is the largest of its kind in Scotland, employing more than 250 apprentices across various trades.
