CENTRESTAGE COMMUNITIES CATALYST PROJECT

Early day motion 314, tabled 12 July 2016 by Alan Brown (Scottish National Party). Signed by 22 members.

That this House congratulates Centrestage Communities on being awarded a grant of £692,080 from the Big Lottery Fund to invest in its Catalyst project; understands that the three year project will provide help to enable a successful transition to community life for people who have served prison sentences of less than four years; notes that the project provides meaningful support before and after release to give every possible chance to break the cycle of re-offending; agrees that breaking that cycle of re-offending is fundamentally beneficial to the individual, community and society as a whole; wishes every success to Centrestage Communities and the Catalyst project; and further notes that this is just one of many successful community-based initiatives organised by Centrestage.
