Macmillan Cancer Support Huntly and District Committee Celebrates 50th Anniversary

Lodged by Alexander Burnett (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 32 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Macmillan Cancer Support Huntly and District Committee on its 50th anniversary; applauds the committee for what it sees as the amazing feat of raising £478,723.67 over the last 50 years, through various fundraising events and generous donations; further applauds chairwoman Margo Stewart, the 15 current members, and its group of supporting "Friends" for keeping this committee actively engaged in the community; notes that these funds are used to offer a wide range of services to people with cancer and their families, to support them on their "cancer journey"; recognises that funds sent to Macmillan through the committee account are used in the north east of Scotland, and that a portion is ring-fenced specifically for people in the AB54 area, which can be claimed, for example, through grants in cases where financial assistance is needed after a cancer diagnosis, and wishes the committee success in future fundraising efforts.
