Linktown Christmas Gifts

Motion Text

That this House praises the efforts of Linktown Tenants and Residents Association for their initiative to deliver gifts of pyjamas, toiletries, sweets and socks to a local care home for Christmas 2020 as part of the Linktown Community Aid project to bring a smile to residents’ faces during the covid-19 outbreak; recognises the change in focus of Linktown Community Aid which was started to tackle food poverty, but with the ongoing pandemic is now working to combat loneliness and isolation in the community among older people; and wishes them every success with this important work which will mean so much to some of the most vulnerable people in the Linktown community who have been hardest hit by the covid-19 outbreak.
