The motion

That this House congratulates South Queensferry resident Hannah Beaton-Hawryluk on her award of an MBE in the 2024 Birthday Honours; recognises her work for the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain (AUGB) as Chair of its Edinburgh branch; notes her Ukrainian heritage inspired her to join the group as her father settled in Edinburgh after the Second World War; further notes she became Chair of the group in March 2022 shortly after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, having left her job at the Royal Botanic Garden to dedicate herself to the AUGB; commends her efforts in raising more than £5.5 million in aid for Ukrainian refugees since 2022, and in setting up a regular programme of activities for refugees in Edinburgh; further commends her focus on ensuring Ukrainian children can continue speaking their mother tongue; and wishes her and her family an enjoyable day at her investiture ceremony this month, and further success for the AUGB.
