Motion text

That this House celebrates the Gregson Community and Arts Centre’s 40th anniversary as a community led and community owned space at the heart of Lancaster; thanks the team at the Gregson for ensuring that in a world that seems increasingly disconnected, where more of us feel isolated and where community can seem in decline, the Gregson is a beacon of hope offering the community of different people, ages and cultures a place to come together which is reflected in the Gregson being home to around 50 regular groups; notes that despite the challenges of lockdowns in recent years a dedicated and tenacious team have ensured Lancaster’s only community run café and bar is fighting fit to serve hungry and thirsty Lancastrians for another 40 years and more; and gives thanks to all who work and volunteer to ensure the Greggy is an honest and warm hearted social hub in its own right.
