Highland Foodbank for Pets Established

The motion

That the Parliament notes the service being provided by Alison Cuthbertson and her partner, Dave Perrie, owners of a mobile pet food business in Ardgay, in Sutherland in the Highlands, who have established a new free-of-charge foodbank, called Parcels for Pets, for pet owners who need food for their animals; understands that the organisation has been launched to help support low-income families who are struggling to feed and look after their pets; supports Parcels for Pets in its efforts to achieve charitable status for its foodbank service, which will cover towns and villages from Caithness to Sutherland and Eater Ross, and notes what it considers the timely establishment of the service ahead of the festive period, when the finances of many families and individuals are stretched to the limit and they may need extra support to help feed pets.
