Social Bite in Aberdeen
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates the chain of sandwich shops, Social Bite, and its founder, Josh Littlejohn, on its opening a branch in Aberdeen; understands that, as a social business, it donates all of its profit to good causes, employs formerly homeless people and runs an initiative that allows customers to pre-pay for food and drink that homeless people can then claim in store; believes that profits are donated to Shelter Scotland, the Vision Eye Care Hospital in Bangladesh, the MicroLoan Foundation, which supports women in Malawi and Zambia, and the STV Appeal; understands that it already has successful branches in Edinburgh and Glasgow, and wishes the team at Social Bite success for the future.
