The motion

That the Parliament congratulates pupils from St Denis' and St Bernard's primary schools for taking part in the Social Enterprise Schools project; understands that as part of the project the young people developed their own business ideas in partnership with the Big Issue; notes that pupils from St Denis', in the East End, came up with the idea of a CFR Veggie Tin, where they plant vegetables in tins for the community; further notes that another group of pupils has been selling products relating to mindfulness and wellbeing; understands that the profits are being donated to the children's charity, "With Kids!"; notes that pupils from St Bernard's, in Nitshill, have created personalised sustainable water bottles after conducting their own market research by asking classmates if they would consider a switch from single-use bottles; understands that, like the pupils at St Denis', the children at St Bernard's are donating their profits and have chosen the environmental charity, Changeworks, and congratulates everyone involved.
