Opening of The Ridge Dunbar

  • Submitted by: Martin Whitfield, South Scotland, Scottish Labour
  • Date lodged: Monday, 28 July 2025
  • Motion type: Standard Motion
  • Motion reference: S6M-18408
  • Current status: Fallen

That the Parliament celebrates the opening of The Ridge community support centre in Dunbar; recognises what it sees as the hard work, over many years, by volunteers and clients to turn the former waste ground into a community garden, as well as the work of the Ridge Foundation's team of apprentices, and their trainers, to restore the site’s 18th century ruins, in conjunction with Historic Environment Scotland, and the many generous funders that have contributed to The Ridge; notes that the centre includes a drop-in area with consultation pods, a training kitchen, training and function rooms, and an office for Ridge staff; congratulates The Ridge for providing what it sees as high-quality, vital services and opportunities to members of the local community, who have previously struggled to access the help that they need, and wishes all the members of the team at The Ridge good luck in their ongoing and future work.
