The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the team at Glasgow’s Helping Heroes, a Govan-based charity that provides a wide range of support from housing to mental health, to those who are serving or have served in the Armed Forces; understands that the team, made up of Armed Forces veterans who are also professionals or experts in fields such as employability and finance, help others by providing support across a broad range of issues; notes that its aim is to make sure that nobody suffers alone, and to help support those who have maybe hit a bump in the road; acknowledges that it offers specialist services such as housing and homelessness services, from supporting someone to make a homelessness application, finding them temporary accommodation, or financial assistance to support them to make a house a home; understands that it has a mental health support worker who can support with anything non-clinical; believes that volunteers and the team at Govan’s Glasgow’s Helping Heroes know that those seeking their services are grateful to speak with somebody who has been through the Armed Forces basic training, been resettled, and come up against the same issues that they have come up against; acknowledges that Glasgow’s Helping Heroes recently won the team prize in the south heats of the Glasgow Community Champions Awards; notes that the group will now go through to the Grand Final on 4 December 2024, and wishes it the best of luck.
