Welcoming the Response in North East Fife to the Refugee Crisis
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes what it considers the overwhelmingly positive response by people in North East Fife to the current refugee crisis; notes that special collection points have been set up across the area to aid refugees escaping persecution from the Middle East and Africa; praises the work of Cupar Fife Refugee Collection and Refugee Action St Andrews for what it sees as the excellent work that they are doing alongside local people to raise funds and collect essential items to help refugees at their time of need; considers that it is vital not only to provide material support to refugees, but also to establish an understanding of refugees and promote long-term advocacy measures, and is moved by the enthusiastic attitude in Scotland toward alleviating the plight of refugees across Europe.
