  • Date lodged: Friday, 15 October 2021
  • Motion reference: S6M-01669

That the Parliament congratulates the Friends of Anchor campaign, ANCHORED Together, on reaching £1 million in fundraising for additions to a new cancer and haematology ANCHOR Centre being built in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary's Foresterhill campus, Aberdeen; understands that this milestone is the half-way point for an overall fundraising target of £2 million, with the money being used to provide the ANCHOR Centre with improved equipment, softer furnishings for providing comfortable treatment, modern technology to provide teaching and training, and a complementary therapy room to provide patients with relaxing treatments and opportunities for support; notes that this is an over-and-above fundraising initiative, being delivered in conjunction with £43 million of Scottish Government funding for the construction of the Centre; recognises that the ANCHOR Centre is scheduled for completion in summer 2023; commends everyone involved with the ANCHORED Together campaign, including all who have made donations, and encourages people to continue donating to this very worthy cause.
