Highlands and Islands MSP Donald Cameron has highlighted the work of a charity in recruiting “kindness volunteers” to help vulnerable people.

Mr Cameron said: “This is a fantastic initiative by Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland to which I wish to draw attention in my motion to Parliament.

“The COVID-19 pandemic is proving to be this generation’s defining challenge and it is heart-warming how people are rising to the challenge by offering to volunteer in so many ways.

“Kindness has become a kind of watch-word as people reach out to help those most vulnerable. It is inspiring how our communities are coming together.”
