The motion

That the Parliament congratulates St Quivox Parish Church, covering St Quivox village and Dalmilling Church in Ayr, on being presented with the coveted Church and Volunteer Award for Scotland at the 2024 National Church Awards; understands that the honour recognises the "brilliant contribution" that volunteers make to both caring for and making best use of churches, to reach out to the local community that they serve; notes that parish minister Reverend John McCutcheon attended a ceremony at Lincoln Cathedral in England to accept the award, describing the accolade as a "great achievement for the church and the fantastic team of volunteers"; recognises that the church facilitates many groups in the community, including a mother and toddlers group, the Teddy Bear Tots, to support parents, an anti-loneliness project called Community Corner, a Man Cave group, a Disability Music Group and many more; commends all of the volunteers at the church for what it sees as the fantastic and invaluable outreach work that they do in the community, and wishes them every continued success for the future.
