Lodged by Graeme Dey Standard Motion 24 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Olivia Blackburn, who is from Carnoustie, on winning a Prince’s Trust Award; celebrates Olivia receiving the Young Achiever accolade, which recognises young people who have succeeded against the odds, improved their life chances and had a positive impact on their community; understands that Olivia lost her father to cancer and had to leave school early to focus on her own health, before her mother also fell ill; acknowledges her determination in pursuing the Prince’s Trust course, which was run with NHS Scotland and Dundee and Angus College; notes that she went on to gain an HNC in Care and Administrative Practice, and understands Olivia is now in her second year of a nursing degree while thriving as an NHS healthcare support worker on the haematology ward where her mum is receiving treatment.
