The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Esme Kitson, a pupil at Burgh Primary School in Galashiels, for raising over £1,000 for Andy’s Man Club to support men’s mental health in the Scottish Borders; recognises that, in addition to money, she has also raised awareness of the issue and the importance of men feeling able to discuss their mental health in a supportive environment through groups such as Andy’s Man Club; understands the importance of encouraging men to think and talk about their mental health and to seek both formal and informal support when needed, and applauds Esme for her courage, commitment and determination to create a positive change in her community.
