Lodged by Tess White Standard Motion 28 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Mearns and Coastal Health Living Network (MCHLN) on securing three years of funding, totalling £90,000, from the Bank of Scotland Foundation’s funding programme, Enable; recognises that Mearns and Coastal Healthy Living Network was formed as a charity in 2002 to support older people living across Kincardine and the Mearns; understands that the grant will be used to support the day-to-day running of MCHLN, as well as the delivery of groups and activities that address loneliness and isolation, while promoting health and wellbeing; notes that the charity also offers vital volunteering opportunities by providing volunteer-led transport services for older people in isolated rural areas to access healthcare appointments, undertake shopping trips or to visit spouses in care homes, and applauds the funding success, which, it believes, will allow it to continue delivering vital services to vulnerable older people across Kincardine and the Mearns.
