Renfrewshire Singled Out and Praised for Coming Together During COVID-19 Pandemic
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Renfrewshire on being singled out in a national report for its positive response to the COVID-19 pandemic; understands that the report from The Carnegie UK Trust focused on good practice within UK responses to the pandemic and highlighted Renfrewshire specifically as successfully coming together during the outbreak; acknowledges that one of the innovations identified as contributing to this success is the development of community hubs, which have been bringing public services and volunteers together under one roof, offering a rapid, grass-roots response designed to reach people most acutely affected by the pandemic since just before lockdown in March 2020; highlights the positive impact that community organisations have had on the lives of local people; looks forward to the long-term role that hubs can play in the continued effort to recover from this crisis, and praises the dedication and community spirit shown by the people of Paisley and wider Renfrewshire during these challenging times.
