Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP West of Scotland) today welcomed the announcement that the Inspiring Scotland 14:19 Fund will benefit young people in Inverclyde.
The fund aims to invest £55 million throughout Scotland in the next 7 – 10 years with six projects in Inverclyde gaining financial and practical support.
Mr. McMillan said;
"I am delighted these charities are getting more assistance for their work with 14 to 19 year olds in Inverclyde.
"These young people often find it difficult to make the transition from school to whatever they choose to do next.
"The idea behind this fund is an excellent way of equipping our young people with the skills they need to reach their potential and afford them the opportunities they deserve.
"The investment in the fund from the Scottish Government, along with other benefactors, should be welcomed and show the commitment from them to creating a smarter Scotland".
Notes:
· Projects in Inverclyde benefiting from the Fund are: Action for Children Scotland, Enable Scotland, Parklea Association Branching Out Ltd, Street League, Tomorrow’s People and The Venture Trust.
