  • Submitted by: Julie MacDougall, Mid Scotland and Fife, Reform UK
  • Date lodged: Friday, 07 August 2026
  • Motion type: Standard Motion
  • Motion reference: S7M-00820

That the Parliament recognises the group “Crafty Grannies”, based in Kirkcaldy, which is made up of roughly 20 people from the local area who, for 18 months, have been running an intergenerational community club focused on combatting social isolation; commends the fact that the group have contributed a huge amount to the local community, for example, by making 1,500 poppies to represent every name on the Kirkcaldy War Memorial, running knitting and crochet clubs for senior residents, cooking food for locals in need, and making handcrafted hearts for local funeral directors in cases where a young child has passed away; wishes the group well for their upcoming play “Inspirational Women” which tells the story of how the group was formed; celebrates their continued good work in the community and wishes the club and its members every possible success going forward.
