The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the opening of a Baby Loss Memorial Garden at the Southern Necropolis in Glasgow, by the Friends of Southern Necropolis (FoSN) and in partnership with the Pavers Foundation and SANDS Scotland; recognises that the new Remembrance Rockery provides a meaningful and peaceful space for families who have experienced the loss of a child, offering them a place for reflection, remembrance and connection; acknowledges the dedication of FoSN volunteers, whose hard work and compassion have brought this project to fruition, and the valued support of Glasgow City Council’s bereavement services in helping to establish the memorial, and congratulates everyone involved, particularly FoSN chairperson, Elsie Mackie, Marie Claire Ingram of the Pavers Foundation and Joanne Robison of SANDS Scotland, for both their commitment to supporting bereaved families and creating a lasting tribute that will bring comfort to generations to come.
