Grampian Assistance Hub

That the Parliament recognises the work of the Grampian Assistance Hub in supporting communities in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray during the COVID-19 crisis; understands that it was established by the Local Resilience Partnership with the support of Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire Council, Moray Council, NHS Grampian, Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Scottish Ambulance Service among others to provide a one-stop-shop for online information and advice, as well as working with the local voluntary organisations, ACVO, Aberdeenshire Voluntary Organisation and tsiMoray to provide assistance to people in the community who need extra help; recognises that, since the Hub was set up at the end of March 2020, over 3,000 people and organisations have signed up as volunteers, with thousands of people using the dedicated phone line and website to ask for help for themselves or others; welcomes the creation of the Grampian Assistance Hub to make it easier for people in the region to find the advice and help that they need, and commends all those who have volunteered their time to support their communities at this difficult time.
