The motion

That the Parliament congratulates community groups across Clackmannanshire on receiving support through the Grassroots Make It Happen Fund (MIHF), which is part of the What Matters to You (WM2U) approach delivered in partnership with Clackmannanshire Council’s Family Wellbeing Partnership; notes that the Grassroots MIHF panels, which are made up entirely of local residents, have awarded a total of £14,463 to 29 community-led projects across the Alloa, Lornshill and Hillfoots catchment areas; understands that this funding forms part of a wider £30,000 allocation designed to empower communities, strengthen family wellbeing and support positive change for children, families and neighbourhoods; recognises that the MIHF panels themselves designed the funding process, reviewed applications and selected projects that reflect local priorities, demonstrating Clackmannanshire’s commitment to community-led decision making and systems change; acknowledges the support of The Hunter Foundation, BBC Children in Need, The Robertson Trust and The William Grant Foundation; welcomes the celebration events held at the Cochrane Hall in Alva on 21 November 2025 and at the Bowmar Centre in Alloa on 29 November, which brought together community members, young people and project leaders to mark these achievements, and commends all the local residents, volunteers, partner organisations and young people involved for their dedication to strengthening and empowering communities across Clackmannanshire.
