MSP hails day centre

MIDLOTHIAN North and Musselburgh SNP MSP Colin Beattie has tabled a motion in the Scottish Parliament congratulating a day centre on receiving £5000 funding.

The Hollies Day Centre for the elderly, in Musselburgh High Street, secured the award from the Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland and is expected to use the money to create a new position of part-time dementia unit co-worker.

In his motion, Mr Beattie went on to praise Ann Proudfoot, who chairs the centre’s management committee, for “her continued success”.
