UnknownThat the Parliament congratulates the Gordon and Ena Baxter Foundation on what it considers the important work that it has carried out in 2015 in supporting communities in the Highlands and Islands and the north; notes that the foundation manages the personal legacies left by Gordon and Ena, of the Moray-based Baxters Food Group; further notes that awards are made twice a year to groups that work in education, health, social welfare, sports, arts, heritage, conservation and the environment; understands that, in 2013, the trust broadened the geographical area from which it accepts applications, so that it not only supports charities and organisations in Moray, where Baxters has been based since it was established, but across the Highlands and Islands and north east; understands that more than £200,000 has been awarded to over 40 worthy community-driven initiatives in 2015; applauds the work of the foundation manager, Kay Jackson, and the trustees on their tremendous efforts, and wishes the foundation continued success in 2016 and beyond.

Computer-generated best guess
Possible final motion text as originally lodged
This is a computer’s best guess at applying carried amendments to the original motion text. It uses simple text rules for phrases such as “insert at end”, “after X insert Y”, and “leave out from X to end and insert Y”. Treat it as an aid, not the official motion text.
