The motion

That the Parliament recognises Deafblind Awareness Week, which runs from 21 to 27 June 2020, under the theme, "Dare to Dream"; understands that this year Deafblind Awareness Week is encouraging the public to get involved through completing seven challenges in seven days, including a blindfolded bake-off and creating tactile art; acknowledges that, year-round, the organisation advocates for the rights of those in Scotland with dual sensory loss and offers a range of accredited and certificated training courses to raise deafblind awareness and understanding, from its premises in Lenzie in East Dunbartonshire; notes that the charity also offers support to the deafblind community, such as advising on welfare rights and accessing information, as well as providing services such as guides/communicators, and commends the charity for its dedication to supporting the deafblind community.
