The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges that three young people from Clackmannanshire have made the finals in the Young Scot Awards; understands that Kyle Blain is in the running for the entertainment and culture prize, which follows on from a highly successful couple of years for the artist, who regularly hosts exhibitions in the Wee County; further understands that a substantial part of his nomination was the work that he carried out at Forth Valley Royal Hospital by creating a mural for the hospital to thank staff for the treatment that they gave a member of Kyle's family when they were in intensive care; understands that Ellie Hodge has been named on the shortlist in the health and wellbeing category for what it sees as her exemplary work leading her school’s breakfast club; notes that her application has stated that she is known as an inspiring young leader who has transformed her own shyness into a powerful force for good; understands that, once struggling to attend school, Ellie took on a leadership role at her school breakfast club, ensuring that students with extended additional support needs were included, and that she also learned Makaton to communicate with non-verbal students and helped to support school holiday activities; acknowledges that Seren McNaught has made the top three in the sport and physical activity award for her work volunteering with Active Clacks; understands that the Young Scot website describes her as showing outstanding dedication to her community with over four years of volunteering with Active Clacks and achieving her gold bar in Highland dancing whilst using her positivity and empathy to build strong relationships with children and make sport more inclusive; believes that Seren’s kindness, energy and long-term commitment to helping others make her a valued role model and a truly inspiring nominee; commends the three young people for what it sees as their selfless dedication toward their peers, their communities and towards their own disciplines, and wishes them all the very best in the finals to be held at Glasgow’s Platform venue in June 2025.
