The motion

That the Parliament commends the diligent work of Allan Logan and his colleagues at the Old Monkland St James Lodge (177) in Coatbridge for their incredible fundraising efforts for numerous causes over the past decade; understands that Mr Logan, who resides in Glenmavis, has predominantly raised money for the Royal Hospital for Children (formerly Yorkhill Hospital); further understands that the funds raised are given to the Schiehallion Unit of the Royal Hospital for Children to help pay for enhancements such as pull-down beds, to allow parents to stay by their child’s side, and a play-room, which includes a multi-sensory unit, which will be used for the assessment and treatment of children with complex needs; understands that boxing nights are one of the most popular annual fundraising events that are organised by Allan; believes that the sum total of Allan’s fundraising efforts far exceeds £150,000; understands that, as well as the Royal Hospital for Children, recipients of donations include Mavisbank Primary School, Hope for Autism, Ronald MacDonald House and various charities that offer support for Parkinson’s disease; praises not only Allan and the Lodge, but the many benefactors who, it understands, have generously donated to help raise this incredible amount over the last number of years, and wishes Allan and the Lodge continued success with these brilliant fundraising efforts.
