The Coming Home Centre Receives £500
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates The Coming Home Centre on receiving £500 from the Asda Foundation; notes that centre, which is in Govan, is a drop-in centre for Armed Forces' veterans and serving military personnel in the community; understands that it provides tea, coffee and a daily hot meal free of charge to veterans; considers that eating a hot meal together is an activity that most veterans can identify with and relate back to their service experiences, and acknowledges that the charity also works with veterans at the point of needing assistance with issues such as mental and physical health, homelessness, housing, pensions, benefits support, employment and training, woodwork and bike maintenance workshops, adventurous activities, vans for furniture uplift, removal or recycling, friendship and camaraderie.
