Sauchie Community Group Named Tenants Group of the Year

  • Submitted by: Claire Baker, Mid Scotland and Fife, Scottish Labour.
  • Date lodged: Friday, 20 November 2020
  • Motion reference: S5M-23435

That the Parliament congratulates Sauchie Community Group on being named Scottish Tenants Group of the Year at the Tenants Information Service Awards; notes that this national award was sponsored and presented at a virtual award ceremony by the International Union of Tenants after being nominated by Clackmannanshire Tenants & Residents Federation; recognises that, for three decades, Sauchie Community Group has organised activities, meetings, events and outreach programmes in the village of Sauchie and run its operations from a small community centre, which has recently been extended after successfully securing funding to increase the size of the centre and to increase the numbers able to participate; thanks the organisation for its efforts during the lockdown, which has resulted in the funding and distribution of hundreds of food parcels, stationary and activity packs, online concerts, food and prescription pick-ups and drop-offs and many other activities to keep the community supported, involved and entertained while restrictions are in place, and wishes the organisation well with its Christmas activity programme, and continued success in the future.
