That the Parliament congratulates Knightswood Community Centre (KCC) on its 50th anniversary, which will mark its opening in what was then the newly-built centre at Alderman Road on 1 December 1970; notes that the formal opening of the new centre saw a joint performance from the Knightswood Housewives Choir and Knightswood Community Association Juvenile Pipe Band; acknowledges that the KCC has been providing services to the Knightswood community that have improved the conditions of life for residents and has strengthened community connections, including through local orchestras, history groups, baby groups, friendship clubs, and an annual Christmas dinner for the over 60s; commends the organisation for its role in helping the community through the COVID-19 pandemic, and wishes it well with the postponed 50th anniversary celebrations in the new year.
