The motion

That the Parliament recognises the efforts of the Larkhall and District Volunteer Group during the COVID-19 outbreak; notes that the main focus of the group is phone lines that have taken nearly 500 calls in one week and are open in the mornings and evenings seven days a week; acknowledges how important this service is to the many group members dealing with loneliness during social isolation; notes that the group has two minibuses available for the community driven by volunteer drivers who have PPE to ensure they are protected; understands the group is an active member of the COVID-19 Rainbows Larkhall Community Group, which helps ensure that members have access to the correct support available to them; commends the group for its commitment to the community, and wishes the volunteers well during this difficult time and for the future.
