McMillan Welcomes Training Funding for Inverclyde Charities

Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP) has welcomed the news that Inverclyde charities are to benefit from over £35,000 from the Scottish Government.

Quarriers and Little Sisters of the Poor are to receive the cash to train frontline staff to meet the registration standards set by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC).

Mr. McMillan said;

"Providing training in order for staff to meet standards can be a costly exercise so I am delighted the SNP Government is helping Inverclyde in this way.

"The money from the Voluntary Sector Development Fund has come at a crucial time for many who are facing budget cuts.

"It is important that we have a confident and competent workforce who are able to support the vulnerable people they work with, thus insuring these standards are met is key to the success of the organisations.

"Therefore, assisting these Quarriers and Little Sisters of the Poor in Inverclyde will ensure the staff continue to provide the high standard of care already available".
