Meeting of the Parliament 12 December 2024
The next item of business is a members’ business debate on motion S6M-14008, in the name of David Torrance, on Kingdom Off Road Motorcycle Club being awarded £90,000 of funding. The debate will be concluded without any question being put. I invite members who wish to participate in the debate to press their request-to-speak buttons.
I call David Torrance to open the debate—you have around seven minutes, Mr Torrance.
Motion debated,
That the Parliament congratulates Kingdom Off Road Motorcycle Club on securing £90,000 of funding from Foundation Scotland’s Tackling Inequalities Fund; understands that the Fife-based motorbike charity will use the money over a three-year period to go towards supporting local young people and harnessing their energy through the adrenaline-inducing sport; acknowledges the club’s aim to make safe, off-road motorcycling more accessible for people of all ages in a bid to reduce the antisocial and illegal use of off-road motorcycles; understands that the club works in partnership with Police Scotland and other organisations and has sustained an 80% reduction in antisocial behaviour over the last couple of years; commends the club on the opportunities that it provides for people, as well as the reported social impact that it has had in the Fife area, and wishes the club the very best for the future.
