Applauding Largs Community Resilience Team
The motion
That the Parliament applauds the work of Largs Community Resilience Team during the COVID-19 pandemic; recognises that the team has been heavily involved in community support work with a core team of nine volunteers and a large pool of additional volunteers ready to step up if needed; notes that, since the start of the pandemic, over 900 prescriptions have been delivered by the team across Largs, the Isle of Cumbrae, Fairlie, Skelmorlie, West Kilbride and Saltcoats; understands that the volunteers have also collected and delivered shopping for isolating and vulnerable residents, plus delivery of welfare packages on behalf of the council for patients recently discharged from hospital; is aware of other support provided by the team, including taking packages to the Post Office, glasses to the opticians, packages to the medical centre, and a number of other requests, and commends the vital work of Largs Community Resilience Team at this difficult time, along with that of similar groups across North Ayrshire and Scotland.
