.<br />
Equalities Minister Christina McKelvie visited Ladywood Leisure Centre in Penicuik today where she was joined by local MSP Christine Grahame to meet volunteers and participants at the centre as she launched the new framework<br />
<br />
Older people’s rights are at the centre of a new framework to ensure people can remain active, keep working if they want to, feel safe, and access the services they need.  The Older People’s Framework aims to challenge unwelcome attitudes to and discrimination towards older people. It highlights the positive contributions older people make to our society and the economy, and has been directly influenced by older people who have provided their thoughts, stories and experiences, bringing to life the issues they’ve faced over the years.<br />
 <br />
Speaking at a visit to The Ageing Well Midlothian programme, Older People and Equalities Minister Christina McKelvie said: “Ageing is inevitable but growing older should not mean having to face barriers or discrimination, and one of the issues the framework addresses is the negative perceptions surrounding ageing. Older people in our society have much to offer and contribute and we are committed to supporting them.  This is why we are funding the celebration of older people at the Festival of Ageing, increasing digital inclusion, promoting fair workplace practices and ensuring we have a housing system which works for an ageing population. This framework is the next part of the journey and I am looking forward to an exciting trip, where we all work together to create the best country to age in.  You only need to look at the Ageing Well project to see the many positive examples of older people enjoying life and bringing joy to their local community. This is what we need to encourage.”<br />

HOLYROOD MARKS FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF SOCIAL SECURITY SCOTLAND<br />
 <br />
“FAIRNESS, DIGNITY AND RESPECT” NOW AT HEART OF SYSTEM<br />
 <br />
The Scottish Parliament celebrated the first anniversary of Social Security Scotland, in a debate led by SNP MSP Shona Robison.<br />
 <br />
The agency made its first payments in September 2018, delivering the Carer’s Allowance Supplement – which has helped around 77,500 people - and the Best Start Grant - which has supported almost 10,000 low-income families.<br />
 <br />
Social Security Scotland will also deliver a new £10 Scottish Child Payment - described as a “game changer” by anti-poverty campaigners and estimated to lift 30,000 children out of poverty – ahead of schedule in 2020.<br />
 <br />
Speaking in the debate, Shona Robison MSP said:<br />
 <br />
“It was a proud moment for me when this parliament passed the Social Security (Scotland) Bill. <br />
 <br />
“It was a proud moment for all of us who want to see a fairer, more respectful and dignified Scotland.<br />
 <br />
“The first year has been a success – bringing over 700 jobs to my constituency in Dundee, and delivering face to face support to those who need it.<br />
 <br />
“Let’s not forget the words of the UN’s Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights who said that UK Government compassion for those who are suffering has been replaced by a punitive, mean-spirited, and often callous approach to welfare.<br />
 <br />
“And to that end, I echo Social Security Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville when she calls for all social security to be devolved to Scotland to create a system with the people of Scotland for the people of Scotland.’’   <br />
 <br />
“The UN letter declares that the poverty is a political choice. Let’s choose to end poverty.”<br />

  • Pictured: 9 year old Joshua Holt with his dad Kenny looking forward to the match at Falkirk.<br />
<br />
How many Scottish football fans promise themselves a trip to every senior football ground in the country sometime in their life? Probably the majority when they retire.  One such fan who decided to get that milestone ticked off early in his life is nine year old Joshua Holt, from Edinburgh and an Edinburgh City fan, who completed his tour on Saturday 30 December at the Falkirk Stadium when Queen of the South are the visitors.  It has taken four years for Joshua, accompanied by his father Kenny, to complete the tour which started off on 31 August 2013 at Ibrox when Rangers took on East Fife.  A goal feast was on offer that day as Rangers won 5-0 but Joshua, like most five year olds, was more interested in everything else that accompanies a trip to one of the biggest stadiums in the UK.  His father, however, noticed a lot more than the football on the pitch; he had discovered what his football had been missing – a like minded companion.  This was their ‘thing’ to do together; father and son; come rain or shine.  Not the ‘quality time’ so often quoted as an essential for a parent but real time doing something they both enjoy.  A shared experience can build stronger bonds than any amount of treats from father to son.  They have travelled over five and a half thousand miles on their long journey and have enjoyed an average 2.9 goals per game.  Not a bad return for the commitment they have shown.<br />
<br />
Fans on match days have their own rituals, be it their lucky scarf; same bus for away games; or heading to the same seat for home games.

How many Scottish football fans promise themselves a trip to every senior football ground in the country sometime in their life? Probably the majority when they retire.  One such fan who decided to get that milestone ticked off early in his life is nine year old Joshua Holt, from Edinburgh and an Edinburgh City fan, who completed his tour on Saturday 30 December at the Falkirk Stadium when Queen of the South are the visitors.  It has taken four years for Joshua, accompanied by his father Kenny, to complete the tour which started off on 31 August 2013 at Ibrox when Rangers took on East Fife.  A goal feast was on offer that day as Rangers won 5-0 but Joshua, like most five year olds, was more interested in everything else that accompanies a trip to one of the biggest stadiums in the UK.  His father, however, noticed a lot more than the football on the pitch; he had discovered what his football had been missing – a like minded companion.  This was their ‘thing’ to do together; father and son; come rain or shine.  Not the ‘quality time’ so often quoted as an essential for a parent but real time doing something they both enjoy.  A shared experience can build stronger bonds than any amount of treats from father to son.  They have travelled over five and a half thousand miles on their long journey and have enjoyed an average 2.9 goals per game.  Not a bad return for the commitment they have shown.<br />

Fans on match days have their own rituals, be it their lucky scarf; same bus for away games; or heading to the same seat for home games.  Joshua and Kenny go for the four Ps; popcorn, pin badge, programme and pie.

How many Scottish football fans promise themselves a trip to every senior football ground in the country sometime in their life? Probably the majority when they retire.  One such fan who decided to get that milestone ticked off early in his life is nine year old Joshua Holt, from Edinburgh and an Edinburgh City fan, who completed his tour on Saturday 30 December at the Falkirk Stadium when Queen of the South are the visitors.  It has taken four years for Joshua, accompanied by his father Kenny, to complete the tour which started off on 31 August 2013 at Ibrox when Rangers took on East Fife.  A goal feast was on offer that day as Rangers won 5-0 but Joshua, like most five year olds, was more interested in everything else that accompanies a trip to one of the biggest stadiums in the UK.  His father, however, noticed a lot more than the football on the pitch; he had discovered what his football had been missing – a like minded companion.  This was their ‘thing’ to do together; father and son; come rain or shine.  Not the ‘quality time’ so often quoted as an essential for a parent but real time doing something they both enjoy.  A shared experience can build stronger bonds than any amount of treats from father to son.  They have travelled over five and a half thousand miles on their long journey and have enjoyed an average 2.9 goals per game.  Not a bad return for the commitment they have shown.<br />
