Football Helping in the Response to COVID-19
The motion
That the Parliament recognises the contribution of Scotland’s network of community football organisations during the COVID-19 crisis; notes that clubs, both grassroots and professional, including Coatbridge Rovers, Cumbernauld Colts and Holytown Colts in North Lanarkshire and many others, have used their unique reach to connect people and organisations right across the country; believes that, for some time, Scotland has had some of the best community football and sports clubs in Europe and notes their current role in helping to deliver frontline services, harness the power of volunteers and offer alternative online educational opportunities, and believes that the clubs are playing an invaluable role during these difficult times to help deliver essential services and support.
