The motion

That the Parliament welcomes that Christian Aid Week 2025 takes place from 11 to 17 May; understands that, across Scotland, churches and communities are fundraising to support the work of Christian Aid; commends churches, their congregations and communities across Scotland for their fundraising efforts; further commends Christian Aid for what it sees as the life-changing work that it undertakes around the globe, tackling poverty and injustice; believes that it plays an important role alongside other organisations in responding to humanitarian tragedies, particularly in war zones such as those in Ukraine and Gaza; recognises that this year marks 80 years since the establishment of Christian Aid; understands that Christian Aid was established by churches in the wake of the Second World War to support refugees in Europe, and has continued to support vulnerable individuals ever since, and expresses its deepest appreciation for the volunteers, staff and supporters of Christian Aid over the last 80 years, and into the future, whose ongoing efforts, it believes, continue to make a positive impact across the world.
