That the Parliament congratulates Glasgow-based construction firm, City Building; notes that, as part of its commitment to giving back, the company has undertaken several fundraising initiatives to support the UK’s largest breast cancer research and care charity; understands that, through these efforts, City Building has raised almost £7,000 for Breast Cancer Now; further understands that, most recently, City Building’s manufacturing division, Royal Strathclyde Blindcraft Industries (RSBi), the largest supported employer in the UK, hosted a special afternoon tea event at its premises; understands that the event raised £935, bringing employees together to support Breast Cancer Now's vital work and enhancing RSBi’s focus on social inclusion; acknowledges that RSBi provides employment and training opportunities for disabled people, with more than half of its workforce having additional learning needs or a physical disability; notes that City Building’s social ethos goes beyond construction, and that it is committed to building a sustainable and caring community for everyone, and acknowledges that Breast Cancer Now is the UK’s largest breast cancer charity, combining world-class research and life-changing support, and whose mission is creating a world where everyone diagnosed with breast cancer lives and is supported to live well.
