Lodged by Annie Wells Standard Motion 26 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Together Coffee on its successful opening on Cumbernauld Road in Dennistoun; recognises the positive reception the café has received from the local community since opening and its growing popularity among residents of Glasgow’s east end; notes that the business is owned and operated by Fortuna Negasi, a mum of two, who has brought Eritrean hospitality, coffee traditions, and cuisine to the area; understands that the café is inspired by Ms Negasi’s childhood experiences in Eritrea and her passion for hospitality, cooking, and community connection; acknowledges the welcoming, homely atmosphere created by Together Coffee and its role in encouraging social interaction, cultural exchange, and community cohesion, and recognises what it sees as the contribution that small, locally owned businesses make to the vibrancy of neighbourhood high streets, the local economy, and Glasgow’s diverse cultural life.
