That the Parliament congratulates Fool On, which is a pioneering mental health support group based in Lanarkshire, on celebrating its 10th anniversary at Pather Arts Centre; recognises that Fool On was founded by individuals with lived experience of mental health challenges who discovered that involvement in the performing arts played a vital role in their recovery; notes that over the past decade, the group has grown into a highly regarded community organisation across Lanarkshire, offering free weekly workshops in music, singing, comedy and songwriting; commends all those involved, past and present, for their dedication to supporting positive mental health through creativity and connection, and wishes Fool On continued success in empowering people through the arts for many years to come.
