The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the announcement that Aberdeen International Airport has selected SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health) as its official charity partner for the next two years; recognises that the partnership was chosen following a staff vote and reflects the airport’s commitment to supporting wellbeing across the north east; understands that SAMH is Scotland’s national mental health charity and has delivered vital support in Aberdeen for many years, including suicide prevention work and the provision of mental health link workers in GP practices; notes the charity’s development of The Nook, which is a free walk-in mental health and wellbeing hub opening this summer in Marischal Square; further notes that The Nook will offer non-clinical support without the need for appointments or referrals; understands that the Aberdeen Nook will be the second of a Scotland-wide network of hubs planned to open by 2028; acknowledges that previous charity partnerships at the airport have raised more than £260,000 through initiatives such as the Runway Run and Jet Set Spin, and welcomes this new collaboration between Aberdeen International Airport and SAMH, which aims to raise awareness, engage staff and passengers and support improved mental health across the region.
