Blantyre Foodbank and Scottish SPCA Pet Aid service

That this House commends Blantyre Foodbank on joining the Scottish SPCA’s Pet Aid scheme; notes that through this scheme the foodbank will provide essential food and care supplies to pet owners struggling with the cost-of-living crisis; further notes that this will allow people to better take care of their beloved pets; recognises that without this support many owners would have to give their pets up which has detrimental effects on their mental health and happiness; and thanks the Scottish SPCA for their efforts in rolling out the Pet Aid scheme and the important work that this facilitates.
