  • Submitted by: Annie Wells, Glasgow, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
  • Date lodged: Tuesday, 18 August 2020
  • Motion reference: S5M-22459

That the Parliament welcomes the forthcoming opening of a youth hub in the east end of Glasgow, which will aim to tackle inequality; understands that the Wee Dander Centre will offer young people from all backgrounds a safe, welcoming space full of games, laughter and informal education; notes that it will be based in the Alexandra Park Sports Hub in Dennistoun and be backed by the Milnbank Housing Association, with volunteers from all walks of life supporting its service users; recognises that it will focus on what the young people want to do by engaging in continuous dialogue with them rather than using pre-chosen activities; acknowledges that it is hoped that the whole community will use it a safe space to come along to and speak to the volunteers; acknowledges that it will open on 1 September and will be free for young people, and wishes it success.
