Lodged by Karen Adam (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 8 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the importance of The Vinery in Banff and the role that it plays in addressing social isolation and supporting community wellbeing; understands that Grow@The Vinery provides training, learning and wellbeing opportunities for people experiencing poverty, poor mental health, loneliness and isolation; believes that the project empowers people to address inequality and rural disadvantage while supporting inclusive growth; notes with disappointment the withdrawal of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, which, it understands, has placed the future of the service at risk; is concerned about the potential impact on staff and, in particular, on service users, and notes calls for action to secure the future of The Vinery and the support that it provides to the community.
