Lodged by Kenneth Gibson (No Party Affiliation) Standard Motion 17 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends schools across the Cunninghame North constituency for lending 3D printers and other equipment to North Ayrshire Council to help manufacture safety equipment for the NHS and carers; understands that the equipment is being used to help make personal protective equipment (PPE) for key workers, such as NHS staff, care workers and health and social care partnership staff; notes that all secondary schools across North Ayrshire have contributed by donating safety glasses, face masks and spare gloves, such as rubber gloves that would normally be used in the science department or for first aid, as well as 3D printers from the tech departments; recognises that Garnock Community Campus is also a hub for the children of key workers, with around 450 staff volunteering each day to help across a service that also delivers food to vulnerable members of the community twice a week, and congratulates all those playing a part in supporting key workers and their families in the fight against COVID-19.
