Volunteering Matters in North Lanarkshire
The motion
That the Parliament recognises and celebrates the contribution that volunteers make to the lives of the most vulnerable members of society; notes the fantastic work done in the Uddingston and Bellshill Constituency and beyond by Volunteering Matters North Lanarkshire (VMNL), which recently celebrated 20 years of its vitally important befriending service; notes that it partners volunteers with young people in need to help them gain confidence, a sense of ambition, life-skills and self-esteem from the support, understanding and friendship that the volunteers provide; believes that these contributions can be life-changing for many of these young people; congratulates VMNL on its outstanding work, and wishes at least another 20 years of successful befriending for young people.
