  • Date lodged: Thursday, 12 March 2020
  • Motion reference: S5M-21243

That the Parliament congratulates Govanhill's The Well on its 25th anniversary, which was marked by celebrating with clients, supporters, staff and volunteers, both past and present; understands that The Well Multi-Cultural Resource Centre serves the diverse ethnic minority communities in Govanhill and surrounding areas by providing information and advice in a culturally sensitive manner; considers that, through one-to-one relational support, it makes a long-term difference in people’s lives; acknowledges that the volunteers come from churches in and around Glasgow, together with local community translator volunteers, to offer help in a variety of ways, including drop-in advice consultations, an activity programme to develop skills and confidence, opportunities to volunteer and training in cross-cultural work for other agencies and churches, and understands that, in the 25 years since it opened, it has expanded to include a mother and toddler group, ESOL classes for women and a "Chai and Chat" social group.
