The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Aberdeen Cyrenians on raising nearly £40,000 in two festive fund-raising campaigns; understands that the north-east-based charity has spent more than 50 years at the forefront of service, care, and influence for Scotland's most vulnerable and socially excluded people; notes that, in recent years, the local charity has seen a 600% increase in referrals to its various services and has distributed 80,325 meals with the help of the community; further notes that the £39,742.50 raised will fund the charity's Direct Access Service, which, it understands, is an open-door service available to anyone, offering non-judgmental advice and support, access to a food store and other essentials; commends the work of Aberdeen Cyrenians, its generous partners and donors for its role in assisting vulnerable individuals and families during the cost of living crisis, and sends its best wishes to all for continued success in the future.
