That the Parliament congratulates Newbyres Nursery in Gorebridge on its award for its Intergenerational Project from Generations Working Together at its recent annual conference, which took place at the University of Strathclyde; notes that the weekly visits by pupils from the nursery to Newbyres Care Village, which began in September 2016, have brought fresh energy, enthusiasm and fun into the village and have given residents a welcome link to the wider community; further notes that the nursery has also developed the project to include a pen pal project with its after school club, and wishes all involved in this venture every success.
