That the Parliament welcomes 2024's Scotland Loves Local week, which is taking place from 26 August to 1 September; notes that Scotland Loves Local is a campaign that is spearheaded by Scotland’s Towns Partnership and supports people across Scotland to choose local, as part of building a stronger and more sustainable future; understands that for this year's Scotland Loves Local Week, following the success of the inaugural week in 2023, the campaign is working with local civic and community leaders, businesses and social enterprises, as well as local representatives, to promote what it sees as the significant impact of localism and support local organisations and communities; notes the wide range of organisations across the country, including in Orkney, that are taking part in Scotland Loves Local week this year; commends the Scotland Loves Local campaign's efforts to promote localism and local communities across Scotland; believes that stronger communities are a key to a more sustainable and better future, and wishes the campaign success in promoting this goal.
