Commending the OYO Gin House Hotel for Supporting Ukrainian Refugees

  • Submitted by: Stuart McMillan, Greenock and Inverclyde, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Monday, 28 October 2024
  • Motion reference: S6M-15042

That the Parliament commends the owners of the OYO Gin House Hotel in Greenock for providing a safe haven to Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war in their homeland, having housed multiple families through the UK Government's Homes for Ukraine scheme; acknowledges what it sees as the tireless efforts of the hotel owners, including James Gibb, in fundraising to ensure that families in need received proper care and accommodation; understands that, while the hotel has recently returned to regular business, the lasting impact of its generosity and compassion has been deeply felt by those it assisted; notes the emotional accounts from families who benefited from the support and their successful transitions into new homes, and celebrates what it sees as the invaluable contribution of communities like Greenock in showing solidarity and support for refugees in times of crisis.
