The motion

That this House congratulates community fundraising group Kirkcaldy Strong on successfully completing their community walk on 11th September; understands that their route took them via various local charities for whom they were raising funds, including Nourish Support Centre, Kirkcaldy Samaritans, Greener Kirkcaldy, Kirkcaldy Foodbank, Victoria Radio Network, Pete’s Man Chat Movement, Fife Centre for Equalities and the Linton Lane Centre; notes that over £2,200 has been raised already in direct connection with the walk; pays credit to the incredible efforts of Kirkcaldy Strong founder Lisa May Young on organising and leading the event with the help of some fellow volunteers; thanks the local businesses who supported the initiative, including Cupcake Coffee Box, Fife Free Press, The Courier and Kingdom FM; and congratulates all who took part and helped to raise such valuable funds for these vital local charities supporting the Kirkcaldy community, particularly those who braved the heat in dinosaur and mascot costumes.
