  • Date lodged: Wednesday, 24 March 2021
  • Motion reference: S5M-24463

That the Parliament congratulates Westquarter and Redding Cricket Club on securing £100,000 of investment and ongoing support from sportscotland to help realise its ambitions of improving access to sport and physical activity in the Braes area of the Falkirk district; understands that the investment is made possible thanks to National Lottery players, who raise £30 million each week for good causes across the UK; notes that this award-winning club already plays a significant role in the lives of those in the local community, having been recognised for its work on inclusion and diversity; further notes that this project will enable the club to install more appropriate changing facilities that will enable it to further develop women and girls’ cricket and attract more minority ethnic members, as well as developing its youth and disability cricket sections; understands that the existing barn will be converted into a social space, allowing the club to develop its existing and aspirational community engagement programmes, and wishes the club continued success in the years and decades to come.
