Lodged by Annabelle Ewing Standard Motion 16 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the volunteers at Oor Wee Cafe, in Kelty, on their recent success in winning the Tackling Poverty Award at the Fife Voluntary Action Awards; understands that the cafe was born out of a community need, when a group of individuals approached Fife Council for support as they wanted to create an accessible and affordable cafe, a welcoming space for local residents to meet and support one another while enjoying healthy home cooked food, while also trying to eliminate food wastage; thanks Fife Council and Kelty Community Centre for all the support that they have provided to Oor Wee Cafe since its opening in August 2018; understands that, on average, over 50 people attend the cafe every week; recognises that agencies such as Citizens Advice, Fife Law Centre and Social Security Scotland have held clinics there to support individuals; believes that Oor Wee Cafe is a shining example of community spirit and resilience, and wishes it all the very best for the future.
