That the Parliament congratulates a group of friends who raised £1,500 for the Adored charity in East Kilbride, which funds mental health support for young people in the Lanarkshire area; understands that Ben Balgowan, Darren McGowan, Jamie McKinnon and Ayush Suriyapperuma held a club night in memory of their friend, 22-year-old Ross McPherson, who took his own life earlier this year; recognises that the successful event was a combined effort to remember Ross and raise awareness and money to help other people facing similar mental health problems, and encourages all young people across Scotland to become familiar with the mental health support that is available from organisations like the Samaritans, Breathing Space and local charities like Adored in East Kilbride and Chris’s House in Wishaw.
