Hi @RichardLochhead, any update for the 3,650 signatories to the #SummerSAAS open letter? Students are losing their jobs, running out of money and running out of time. Begging for crisis funding from unis is not the answer. That email reply you promised would be appreciated, ta.

The #Covid_19 pandemic means many students will be without work over summer, leaving them struggling to afford the cost of living over summer and unable to afford accommodation when term starts. It is for this reason I am fully in support of the #SummerSAAS campaign.”

North East Liberal Democrat MSP Mike Rumbles and Angus Councillor for Monifieth and Sidlaw, Ben Lawrie (@CllrLawrie), are supporting the #SummerSAAS campaign. @NEScotLibDems @ScotLibDems neld.org.uk/rumbles_suppor…



Great to see @BeatriceWishart, Mike Rumbles and @scotlibdems supporting our call for #SummerSAAS! You can write to your MSP and ask for their support through writetothem.com!

Good to see @LabourRichard recognising that COVID-19 is seeing many young people loose their jobs and incomes. Will you support our call for #SummerSAAS to make sure students have an income through the summer and don't have to drop out of their studies?

I fear that by the summer we could be witnessing mass unemployment again - especially among young people. We must do everything we can to prevent this. Not to do so would be not just an economic but a moral failure. Read my column in @TheScotsman today: scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…



Thank you to @andywightman for supporting our #SummerSAAS campaign! It is so important to make sure that low income students are not left without an income throughout the summer.

2,600 people support #SummerSAAS - do you? 👉 forms.gle/3Ykwxn9rAnv5q4… The current system of discretionary support is failing ❌ One-off payments aren’t a secure solution ❌ The stigma and bureaucracy of hardship funds stop people applying ❌ Unis are already running out of money

Students need support over the summer. That why I've asked the Further & Higher Educaiton minister to extend SAAS payments. #SummerSAAS See the full transcript and response by the Minister: parliament.scot/parliamentaryb…

Refreshing to see many across the Scottish political spectrum come out in support of #summerSAAS. I know from my own experience as a student how much of a difference it would have made to my life and this crisis makes it all the more necessary.

The Covid-19 pandemic will leave many students without work or funding for 4 months. Bills won't stop over summer, so why should funding? We're joining @scotyounggreens and @SNPStudents in calling for #SummerSAAS. Sign the open letter here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

In 2016, @UWSstudents produced a report on the need for a Summer safety net. I was proud to contribute as a student then & happy to support this now as a Councillor. Students shouldn't be struggling or having to consider dropping out due to a lack of #SummerSAAS. I've signed!
