Sport (Child Poverty Reduction)
Health and Social Care
I thank the minister for that comprehensive response and I hope that she will also join me in congratulating the efforts of Pollok United, which offers an outstanding range of community services, including the extra time programme, which was mentioned by the minister, parent and toddler groups and groups for older people, in addition to its multiple football sessions for young people in my constituency. At the heart of its efforts is its desire to make its community thrive and be a place that is prosperous and inclusive for all.
What concrete action is being taken to support Pollok United and similar sporting organisations to maintain and expand their vital community efforts, particularly in challenging financial circumstances?
