The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Nicola Goldie, shift manager at The Wishaw Malt, on being nominated as one of only three fundraising superheroes from across all J D Wetherspoon pubs in the UK; recognises Nicola’s exceptional efforts, which raised £5,600 in 2024 for the Young Lives vs Cancer campaign; notes that this brings the total raised by The Wishaw Malt to over £56,000, with the pub currently holding the title of the highest fundraising J D Wetherspoon pub in Scotland in 2025; acknowledges the importance of this support, in light of the fact that cancer remains one of the leading causes of death; notes that, while cancer incidence has risen, the risk of dying from cancer in Scotland has fallen due to advances in early diagnosis and treatment, and commends Nicola, the staff, and customers of The Wishaw Malt for their continued commitment to charitable giving and for making a real and lasting difference to the lives of children and young people affected by cancer.
