  • Motion reference: S6M-19617

That the Parliament recognises Paisley’s Pro-Life Fitness Centre for its charity work supporting good causes in Renfrewshire; understands that the fitness centre, which was set up as a charitable organisation in 2014 after its original founding in 1990, has donated approximately £250,000 to various local causes in the last three years alone; believes that the centre primarily supports Renfrewshire’s two main hospices, namely Accord Hospice in Paisley and St Vincent’s Hospice in Johnstone, and that it donates to each hospice every month via standing order, but also supports local sportspeople with sponsorship and donates to local food banks; acknowledges and commends the hard work of head of operations, Robert McEwan, and his team, who, it believes, have overseen multiple refurbishments to the centre’s facilities and have been key to building and sustaining the centre's  approximately 4,000-strong membership; thanks Robert and all of the team for their continued dedication to the local area, and wishes them all the very best for the future.
