The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Heather Bryson, 10 years old, from Robroyston, who is to receive the British Citizen Youth Award in October 2022 in recognition of her exceptional endeavour helping others; believes that Heather provided an intergenerational lifeline, with her exercise classes for people living with disabilities, community gifting and recycling projects; understands that each medal of honour bears the words “For the Good of the Country” and is presented to only a small number of exceptional young individuals annually; further understands that the scheme, now in its eighth year, will reward 25 young people across the UK, allowing them to put the letters BCyA after their names; notes that the British Citizen Youth Award is widely viewed as the nation’s way of recognising extraordinary, everyday young people who are truly representative of today’s multicultural Britain, and understands that Heather will receive the BCyA Medal of Honour at the Palace of Westminster on 20 October 2022.
