GOVAN COMMUNITY TOY BANK

Early day motion 832, tabled 20 December 2016 by Chris Stephens (Scottish National Party). Signed by 26 members.

That this House commends the work of the Govan Community Toy Bank, a voluntary community initiative led by community volunteers in Govan, this year with the support of The Riverside Hall; notes that the Toy Bank was organised to help the poorest and most vulnerable children receive toys at Christmas; thanks all those across the city of Glasgow and beyond who donated toys and other gifts; further notes that in the last two years over 700 children have received toys, selection boxes, writing materials, books and other gifts; notes that this year children with learning difficulties received a tablet; congratulates all those volunteers who pulled this initiative together and commends their work; believes that such initiatives are brought about directly as a result of failings in the economic and social security systems; and urges the Government to address these economic and social security issues in 2017.
