The Work of BHF Scotland

Lodged by Russell Findlay (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 38 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends the valuable work of British Heart Foundation (BHF) Scotland; notes that the charity operates 75 shops across the country, including eight in West Scotland region; recognises that these shops are dependent on 1,400 volunteers supporting the charity’s employees and that Volunteers' Week 2022 began on 1 June; understands that BHF Scotland saves about 7,500 tonnes of goods going to waste and re-sells 18,000 sofas annually, thereby encouraging the circular economy; notes that money generated by these shops contributes to the charity investing £60 million into life-saving heart and circulatory disease research; notes that heart diseases remain a major cause of death in the country, and commends BHF Scotland for playing what it sees as such a crucial role in dealing with these conditions.
