Mrs Murray's Big Build Campaign

That the Parliament welcomes the news that Mrs Murray's Home for Stray Dogs and Cats has begun work on new purpose-built kennels; notes that the charity, which is based in Seaton in Aberdeen Central, was founded in 1889 by Mrs Susan Murray, and has been providing refuge and care for stray, abandoned and unwanted animals in Aberdeen and the wider North East for 136 years, with up to 500 animals currently being rehomed annually; understands that Chap has been appointed as the main contractor for this new development, called the Big Build campaign, which will see the charity's ageing dog rehoming block replaced with 21 modern kennel units, including a dedicated maternity unit; further understands that the charity is calling on businesses and organisations across the North East to get behind the Big Build campaign and help support this important investment in the charity's future, with an aim of raising £500,000; believes the scale of this ambition highlights the important work carried out by general manager Marie Simpson and her team, and wishes the charity the best of luck in reaching its funding goal and successfully completing the Big Build project.
