The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges the vital support offered by the Glasgow Kelvin-based charity, Positive Action in Housing (PAiH), which supports refugees and migrant homelessness and human rights; understands that it has continued its excellent work providing essential advice, crisis support, distributing PPE, food and bus vouchers, winter wear and hygiene kits to 300 asylum seeking families and individuals throughout Glasgow; believes that these essential resources have supported their physical and mental wellbeing throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and winter period; notes that PAiH also pioneered the UK’s first volunteer refugee hosting network, Room for Refugees, and, in 2019-20, provided shelter to almost 250 refugee or migrant households, and commends and thanks everyone involved for their commitment to supporting migrant and refugee individuals and families.
