Lodged by Alexander Stewart Standard Motion 27 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the launch of a new initiative to support women in starting their own businesses; understands that Resonate Together, a Clackmannanshire social innovation charity, has launched the From Ideas to Entrepreneur programme; further understands that the initiative is not just about teaching business skills, but also about creating a supportive community for the women involved; understands that rather than just a classroom, this project is intended as a real-time pilot, which is co-designed with participants and where every step, challenge, and success becomes part of the learning and part of the evidence for future funding; notes that the course begins with personal reflection, asking the participants to consider their current situation and future goals before moving into practical aspects of business such as customer discovery, financial planning, branding, leadership, and legal frameworks, with a strong emphasis on mutual support and a sense of belonging; acknowledges that the participants form WhatsApp groups for daily check-ins and have access to the Carsebridge unique Tech Quarter, a space equipped for prototyping and digital storytelling; wishes everyone involved all the very best for their future successes, and commends Resonate Together and its founder, Angela Watt, on what it sees as this highly innovative and magnanimous project.
