Meeting of the Parliament 16 December 2015
Good afternoon and apologies for the slightly late start due to circumstances beyond our control. The first item of business today is a members’ business debate on motion S4M-14515, in the name of Alison McInnes, on Home-Start Garioch, which celebrates 20 years.
The debate will be concluded without any question being put. I would be grateful if members who wish to speak in the debate would press their request-to-speak buttons as soon as possible. However, I would like members to note that we are rather tight for time.
Motion debated,
That the Parliament congratulates Garioch Home-Start on its 20th anniversary; notes that the organisation first opened its doors in the Garioch area of Aberdeenshire in April 1995; further notes that Home-Start is a voluntary organisation that offers support to families facing issues such as rural isolation, disability, illness, multiple birth, post-natal depression and family difficulties; recognises what it considers the importance of such projects to families who are facing such issues; further recognises the need for ongoing one-to-one support, such as is provided by Home-Start to families with young children; congratulates the staff and volunteers of the organisation, and wishes them the very best success in the future.
