That the Parliament welcomes the generous response to a call for help for Afghan refugees from Acorn Aid, which is based in Crossgates; thanks all those from west Fife and across Scotland who, in just three days, donated more than 35 tonnes of donations; recognises that Acorn Aid was founded in 2016 by Brian and June Miller with the initial intention of providing aid to Bosnia, and notes that, over the last five years, Acorn Aid has also helped local homeless charities, purchased defibrillators and public access boxes, and helped people who have been housebound or self-isolating during the COVID-19 pandemic.
