Supporting our Community, Hamilton
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates the Hamilton-based hub, Supporting our Community (SOC), on being shortlisted in the SCVO Celebrating Communities category at the 2020 Scottish Charity Awards, which will be presented on 25 September; notes that SOC helps families that struggle to access support and offers intergenerational activities that encourage community participation, reduce isolation and signpost to other agencies if needed; acknowledges that its 16 volunteers are qualified in mental health first aid and that 40 people from the area have attended suicide talks and awareness courses; recognises the positive work of the volunteers and the impact that SOC has had on the community, and wishes it the best of luck at the awards and with its endeavours.
