The motion

That the Parliament commends Susan Hannah, who is from Kirkcaldy, on her 18 years of voluntary service with Fife Alcohol Support Service (FASS); understands that Susan spent much of this time as a volunteer counsellor, helping people with difficulties due to alcohol related problems; notes that FASS provides a range of services designed to meet the special needs of vulnerable people in the community who are affected by alcohol-related problems and substance misuse, provides help for carers of individuals in difficulty and for people who are socially isolated and vulnerable; understands that, across Fife in 2016, around seven million hours were volunteered to charities, including FASS; recognises the difference that such voluntary services and charities make to the lives of those who find themselves in need of help and support; thanks them for the work; applauds Susan for her years of service, and wishes her a happy retirement.
