Glasgow Local Wins My Place Community Champion Award 2024

  • Submitted by: Annie Wells, Glasgow, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
  • Date lodged: Wednesday, 24 April 2024
  • Motion reference: S6M-12964

That the Parliament congratulates Eugenie Aroutcheff on winning the 2024 My Place Community Champion Award; understands that she was recognised for developing and running Grow 73, a charity aiming to help people of all ages and abilities to grow their own produce, learn how to lead more sustainable lives and support local biodiversity; notes that Grow 73 leases a piece of unused land in Overtoun Park, in Rutherglen, and has gradually transformed it by adding raised beds, a pond, a nature walk and more; considers that the My Place Awards provide a national stage for grassroots, community-led regeneration projects, many of which have not received formal recognition for their hard work, and believes that the awards not only provide a platform for celebration, but also serve as a key networking tool for community-led regeneration projects across Scotland to learn about similar initiatives, share ideas and provide peer-to-peer support.
