Jake Carroll and The Wee Box Campaign

That the Parliament welcomes the news that Motherwell FC football player, Jake Carroll, has launched the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund's (SCIAF) Wee Box campaign during the Lent period; understands that the Wee Box campaign asks people across the country to show solidarity with those who are living on the frontline of the climate emergency, facing extreme hunger and life on the edge of survival; believes that people can help in a number of ways, by considering what they eat, how they travel, how much they waste, and by donating in hope to SCIAF’s WEE BOX appeal; commends SCIAF’s work in supporting, it understands, 2.2 million people across the globe, including in Malawi, where SCIAF is working through local partners to help families adapt to climate change and provide the essential knowledge, skills and resources they need to survive, and asks that people take time during Lent to consider what changes can be made to care for what it considers is the “Common Home” that is Scotland, and to support communities who, it believes, are hardest hit by the climate crisis.
