That the Parliament congratulates the University of Edinburgh Community Grants Scheme; understands that this project supports community groups seeking to develop projects that have a positive social impact, such as the Bridgend Farmhouse, which offers training courses in sustainable building skills to volunteers; acknowledges that, since the Scheme was established in 2017, it has distributed over £200,000 to community groups; believes that such hard work and community engagement should be encouraged, and wishes the scheme well for the future.
