Jackson would like to offer his thanks to Asda Newton Mearns who have provided a grant to Mearns Kirk Friendship group, Eaglesham scouts and Mearns Guides. The following motion has been submitted by Jackson to officially recognise this generous donation.
That the Parliament recognises the £900 donation from ASDA in Newton Mearns to support Mearns Kirk Friendship Club, 15th Glasgow Scout Group (Eaglesham) and 4th Mearns Guide; notes that the Mearns Kirk Friendship group received £500 and 15th Glasgow Scout Group (Eaglesham) and 4th Mearns Guide £200 each; understands that, by placing a token in the Chosen by You, Given By Us programme box, shoppers and colleagues can choose between three local projects to receive funding every quarter; thanks ASDA for its continued support of local causes, which it understands has led to investment of over £300,000 in community projects and good causes in Scotland; believes that these donations should assist local groups to continue their good work in the community, and looks forward to the ongoing support that charities receive from ASDA.
