Lodged by Neil Bibby (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises what it regards as the incredible work carried out by the ACCORD Hospice as part of the Renfrewshire Bereavement Network; understands that the walk-in service was set up in August 2020; notes that the network aims to provide support to people in the Renfrewshire area who are experiencing loss or dealing with grief by offering access to the most appropriate advice, guidance and counselling available, all from a single point of access; understands that the service has provided 2,276 bereavement sessions between June 2023 to June 2025; believes that Paisley is the only town in Scotland that offers this vital drop-in service, in line with the Bereavement Charter for Scotland; understands that the service relies on the generosity of the people of Renfrewshire to help fund the support sessions, as well as statutory funding, and commends the staff and volunteers for the service that they provide to people requiring bereavement support across Renfrewshire.
