That the Parliament welcomes the recent £56,754 Children in Need grant awarded to Recharge in Tranent to provide services to help reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on local young people; notes that this funding from the charity’s Covid-19 Next Steps Fund follows an award of £49,500 from The Robertson Trust earlier in 2020; understands that these two funding awards have secured Recharge’s future for the next three years, enabling it to continue offering a range of important youth services to young people in Tranent and surrounding villages, and congratulates Recharge’s staff and volunteers on the important work that it undertakes in local communities.
