Staff and Volunteers of Mikeysline

That the Parliament commends the staff and volunteers of Mikeysline for their work in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of people across the Highlands, Moray and the islands; notes that the charity was established in 2015 and now provides an evening textline 365 days a year, one-to-one support sessions and support in local secondary schools; recognises the achievement of the charity's Hive on the Road, a converted van launched in 2024 and understood to be the first mobile mental health support vehicle of its kind in Scotland that brings confidential one-to-one support to remote and rural communities and attends major community events across the region, with a second vehicle added to the fleet in 2025; understands that National Records of Scotland recorded 704 probable suicide deaths in Scotland in 2024, that the rate in the Highland Council area has been significantly higher than the Scottish average and that remote small towns have had the highest rates of any area type for most of the last decade; acknowledges the sustained funding pressures third sector organisations face in delivering mental health support, particularly those covering large and sparsely populated areas where the cost of reaching people is high, and wishes everyone at Mikeysline well as they deliver this important service.
