That the Parliament welcomes the news that a charity bingo tea in Alloa raised over £3,600 for Andy’s Man Club; understands that the event took place on 14 September 2025 in Alloa Bingo Club and was organised by Robert Syme in memory of his friend’s son, Brad Womersley, who tragically passed away aged just 36; believes that Robert decided to hold a bingo tea to raise funds for Andy’s Man Club in Brad’s memory; notes that around 200 people attended and donations reached £3,650; further notes that Robert said of the event that "it was just amazing and everybody pulled together" and that it was great to do it in Brad's memory and raise a lot of money; acknowledges that Andy’s Man Club was brought to Clackmannanshire in 2024 by George Peat from Alloa and that it offers free peer-to-peer support for men with a group meeting each Monday evening, excluding on bank holidays, at the town’s Hawkhill Community Centre; congratulates everyone involved on what it sees as their highly magnanimous gestures; sends its sincere condolences to the family and friends of Brad, and commends Robert and George on their selfless work in each regard.
