Lodged by Clare Adamson (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 22 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the charity, Neighbourhood Networks, on its 20th anniversary; notes that there are currently 28 networks across central Scotland, with four in Motherwell and Wishaw; understands that the networks support vulnerable adults with learning disabilities, disabled people, and those experiencing poor mental health, and help enable people to live an independent life, safely, within their own homes and be fully involved within their communities; further understands that, over the years, Neighbourhood Networks has hosted many visitors from abroad, who have been interested in the work of the organisation, including from Australia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, the Netherlands, New Zealand and, more recently, Finland; believes that this has allowed the Neighbourhood Network to become a global peer support network; understands that the anniversary celebrations will include its first online conference, from 29 to 31 March 2022, on the subject of Networks as Agents of Change - Together Anything is Possible, and that it will highlight the developing peer-support networks across the central belt, and wishes it all the best with the celebrations and for the future.
