The motion

That the Parliament congratulates South Ayrshire Women’s Aid as its renovated refuge accommodation is officially opened by the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay; notes that this accommodation provides refuge to women and children who are fleeing from domestic abuse; recognises that the opening of this space will provide eight flats to those who are in desperate need of safety; understands that their Royal Highnesses found the accommodation to provide privacy, alongside the offer of support and advice; supports the organisation as it continues to provide a vital service to women and children who are now placed in refuges and safe houses at unadvertised locations; understands that this accommodation will provide a lifeline, and wishes these women and children all the best as they begin receiving this support.
