That the Parliament congratulates the 22 community groups in Tarland that have received funding from the Coull Hall Trust Fund; notes that the Coull Parish Hall, which opened in 1926, served as a community hub for events for decades before being used by the Grampian Police Cadets until its closure in 2001; acknowledges that the hall was sold in 2022, with the proceeds going to a one-time fund for groups within a 2.5-mile radius; recognises that grant applications let local groups apply for funding of up to £2,000, resulting in 22 groups and 1,400 individuals securing financial support to be used for community projects over the next year; highlights that the groups awarded funding included 1st Cromar Brownies, 1st Cromar Guides, 1st Cromar Rainbows, Cromar Future Group, Cromar Old Peoples Association, Cromar Parish Church, Inclusive Farm Scotland at MacRobert, Mid Deeside Young Farmers, Cairngorms Yellow Beacon Youth Creative Clay Carnival, Tarland Amateur Dramatic Society, Tarland Art Group, Tarland Arts and Recreations, Tarland Community Garden, Tarland Curling Club, Tarland Golf Club, Tarland Lego Club, Tarland MacRobert Memorial Hall, Tarland Parent and Toddlers, Tarland Primary School, Tarland Show, Tarland Tennis Club, Tarland Welfare Trust and Young At Heart Deeside, and commends the Coull Hall Trust for strengthening community ties, supporting local heritage, and fostering social, economic, and environmental benefits for Tarland.
