The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Nina Kirk and Ben Kane, both pupils of Clydeview Academy in Gourock, on being named Rotary Great Britain and Ireland Young Citizens of the Year; understands that climate activist, Nina, first spoke at an eco summit in Inverclyde before taking her message to COP26, while classmate, Ben, has set up his own counselling support group in school to support pupils who have experienced a bereavement, and is campaigning to see similar support groups established across all schools in Inverclyde and further afield; notes that both teenagers were nominated by the Gourock Rotary Club after they were finalists in the local branch’s first ever Dr Sadhu Gupta Young Citizen of the Year award, and wishes Nina and Ben all the best as they continue to campaign on the issues that matter most to them.
