That the Parliament understands that thanks to the Salvation Army’s annual Toy Appeal, hundreds of children across Inverclyde will receive a present in 2022; further understands that the toy appeal has benefited the children of Inverclyde for three decades and aims to take pressure off from families struggling at Christmas; commends the Salvation Army volunteers, without whom, the appeal could not function, and specifically, Maureen Pentland, a collection coordinator with Salvation Army who has organised the appeal for 30 years; celebrates that the toy appeal reflects the kindness and generosity of people across Inverclyde who have all done something that will hopefully make a child’s experience of Christmas a better one, and further commends all charities and services in Inverclyde supporting people this Christmas.
