Lodged by Annie Wells Standard Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the staff of Scottish Friendly on their extraordinary fundraising achievement, raising £14,800 in support of Action for Children; notes the remarkable commitment of colleagues who participated in events such as the Great Scottish Run 10k, the autumn raffle, and the Boycott Your Bed Glasgow sleep-out, despite challenging circumstances; acknowledges the ongoing support provided through the funding of two wellbeing practitioners, who work directly with young people in Glasgow schools, equipping them with vital tools to manage challenges and build confidence; recognises the generosity, resilience and team spirit demonstrated by Scottish Friendly staff, which, it understands, has made a tangible difference to vulnerable children, young people and families across Glasgow; understands the importance of such corporate partnerships in supporting early intervention and wellbeing initiatives, and acknowledges the positive impact that they can have on education and life opportunities for children.
