The motion

That the Parliament commends the Fed Up Café in Stranraer, in the South Scotland region, for its exceptional contribution to the local community; recognises the café’s inclusive and compassionate approach, offering free meals to anyone who drops in, with no questions asked; notes that signposting to additional support services is also provided; applauds its innovative community larder, with support from FareShare, the UK's largest food distribution charity, which helps tackle food insecurity and supports dignity in access to essentials, including toiletries; acknowledges the café’s commitment to skills development, including employability training, barista teaching and volunteering opportunities that empower individuals and build confidence; notes the café’s meals-on-wheels service, which ensures that vulnerable and isolated members of the community are supported with nutritious food and human connection; celebrates the dedication of the staff and volunteers who make this work possible, and recognises the Fed Up Café as a shining example of grassroots action, social solidarity and community resilience in Dumfries and Galloway.
