  • Date lodged: Friday, 15 October 2021
  • Motion reference: S6M-01689

That the Parliament congratulates Clackmannanshire Third Sector Interface (CTSI) on taking on the responsibility for the Response, Recovery and Resilience (RRR) Funding Scheme across the Wee County, through a mix of open and closed funding processes, distributing support to 11 groups, which received a combined £5,569; understands that these groups included Clackmannan Development Trust, Menstrie Community Council, The Gate Charity, Hawkhill Community Association, Sauchie Active 8, Fort Valley Welcome and Transform Forth Valley, with around £500 of support for each; notes that another recipient was Alva Development Trust, which was offering food provisions for those on the shielding list, as well as anyone who had faced acute hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic; acknowledges that those who received the funding reported high levels of satisfaction in feedback, with 80% agreeing that the approach to distribution saved them time, and with around a third of grantees saying they would not have been able to provide services had it not been for the money received, and commends CTSI for its diligence in providing this funding, as well as all the fantastic local groups that work tirelessly for the benefit of their communities.
