Shapinsay Cast Affs Success

Lodged by Liam McArthur (Scottish Liberal Democrats) Standard Motion 13 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Shapinsay Development Trust on the success of its pop-up charity shop, Cast Affs; recognises that over £1,500 has been raised so far; understands the shop, which is based in the Smithy, is supplied by donations and employs one member of staff with volunteer input; notes that it is entering its tenth week after a successful eight-week pilot; acknowledges that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, inter-island travel has been restricted, meaning that access to goods provided on the mainland has been limited; commends the ingenuity of the Development Trust to respond to the needs of families and help raise funds, with proceeds going to charities in Shapinsay; thanks Alison Meason, Lynsey Leslie and everyone who has helped by volunteering and donating to the project, and wishes them, and the project, all the very best for the future.
