The motion

That the Parliament notes that Robert Smith, who is a co-founder and trustee of the LINKES Community in Knightswood in Glasgow, has won the Trustee of the Year Award at the recent Scottish Charity Awards, which is run annually by the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations; notes that, between March and September 2020, Robert’s team of volunteers delivered over 18,000 meals and 2,000 grocery packs to local people; further notes that, since last October, he has overseen the logistics of a weekly food-hub, run group meetings, bulk bought food, driven the van, supported new volunteers, and made friendly phone calls to those living alone, and believes that Robert is a worthy winner of Trustee of the Year among the many hardworking colleagues from across Scotland delivering on behalf of everyone.
