That the Parliament congratulates the Cherry Tree pub in Wishaw on continuing its impressive fundraising efforts with a further £5,450 raised this winter for two vital charities, Beatson Cancer UK and Bowel Research UK; notes that the fundraising event included a full day of child-friendly entertainment followed by an evening event for adults; recognises that the funds raised have been split equally between the two charities; notes that since taking over the Cherry Tree four years ago, Helen Paterson, with the support of generous regulars, local businesses and friends, has helped to raise a total of £30,000 for a range of local charities, and commends everyone involved for their generosity, community spirit and commitment to supporting important causes.
