The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Sophie Allan, a former pupil at Lornshill Academy, who was recently named as the KubeNet Volunteer of the Year at the Scottish Women in Sport Awards 2021; believes that Sophie, who coaches with Active Schools in Clackmannanshire and Dunfermline Track and Field, was recognised for her work as a coach and official, which saw her volunteer around 1,000 hours in 2021; understands that, in her own words, being the person that drives youngsters to "stay in the sport forever" is what motivates the award-winning "Wee County" athletics volunteer; considers that Sophie, from Alloa, also officiates for both Scottish and UK Athletics, is on the committee for the Scottish Schools Athletics Association, volunteers with another Dunfermline-based club, Pitreavie AAC, and is included on Scottish Athletics' Young People's Forum, and commends Sophie on what it sees as her tireless and selfless work for the benefit of local sport and for her encouragement of younger people to compete in their individual disciplines.
