That the Parliament commends the staff of Kirkintilloch Specsavers on their combined efforts in raising almost £1,000 to fund vital optometry training in Malawi; understands that these included bake sales and the sale of a mountain bike, as well as the participation of its assistant manager in the Great Scottish Run, which raised £500 alone; notes that the funding includes a pledge to support a three-day paediatric training course at Lions Sight First Eye Unit for frontline eye health workers in Malawi for three years, and thanks the staff and all who donated on their tremendous effort and generosity.
