Hope in Hamilton Art Project Commissioned to Support Mental Health

Lodged by Meghan Gallacher (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 31 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the unique interactive art project, Hope in Hamilton, to be located at Hamilton Central railway station, which was created to support mental health and which will be installed in 2022; notes that the local charity, Rail 74 CRP, was awarded £40,000 of funding by Avanti West Coast to deliver the project, which will see the award-winning artist, Rob Mulholland, from Arcadia Sculpture Centre in Loch Lomond, bring the charity's ideas to life before the artwork is installed, and recognises that the main aim of the project is to give participants an outlet that will encourage the local community to talk about their mental health, and to seek help if needed.
