Fairer Aberdeen Fund
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the news that the Fairer Aberdeen Fund Board has distributed £1.54 million of funds allocated from Aberdeen City Council to tackle poverty and deprivation in Aberdeen; notes that the fund, which supports the third sector to deliver services for adults and young people, has supported 52,120 people across the year, including 5,602 under-16-year-olds; understands that funding was awarded to 36 projects within the main programme, as well as a Community Support Fund to support community engagement and an Employment Support Fund to support costs associated with getting people back into work; further understands that five community flats were funded through the fund, including in Seaton and Tillydrone in the Aberdeen Central constituency; thanks the 752 volunteers who contributed 137,210 hours of their time to help deliver this support, which it believes is worth an estimated £2.3 million, as well as the members of the board, and wishes them all the very best for the next year and beyond.
