The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Russell Anderson Foundation for raising £102,287 at its fifth annual charity ball at the Chester Hotel in Aberdeen on 10 May 2024; understands that the Foundation, which was founded in 2012 by former Aberdeen FC captain and Scotland international, Russell Anderson, works with over 2,000 children across 12 partner schools in Aberdeen, empowering them to make good decisions by focusing on health, wellbeing and being physically active, as well as improving attainment levels through various initiatives such as practical cooking lessons, food support, mentoring programmes, workplace visits and employability opportunities; further understands that the event, which was a masked ball attended by over 300 guests, was sponsored by Fowler McKenzie, Aberdein Considine Wealth, RAM Tubulars, and McIntosh Plant Hire and Heavy Logistics, with many other organisations contributing auction items and prizes, including a Tag Heuer watch donated by local jeweller, Jamieson and Carry; recognises the hard work of the Foundation's staff in putting the event together, particularly Graeme Burnett and Louise Douglas, and hopes that the funds raised will allow the Russell Anderson Foundation to support many more children and their families in making positive lifestyle changes that allow them to reach their true potential.
