30th Anniversary of the Whitlawburn Community Resource Centre

That the Parliament celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Whitlawburn Community Resource Centre; understands that the Resource Centre, affectionately then known as the ‘Bonus Ball’, opened in the 1990s after local people worked together to create a much-needed facility in their own community; recognises that the venue was one of the first in Scotland to receive support from the National Lottery, having obtained funding of over £800,000 to convert the disused Loch Primary on Belmont Road into a space for the people of Whitlawburn; further recognises that, 30 years on, Whitlawburn Community Resource Centre is a facility that is still well utilised by local organisations and local people; pays tribute to past and present committee members, volunteers, third sector organisations and local residents who have supported the Centre over the decades, and wishes the Whitlawburn Community Resource Centre all the best in the years ahead.
