Motion Text

That this House recognises and celebrates the vital work of Queer Breakfast Club in Grangemouth, a volunteer-led charity founded in 2024 to support LGBTIQ+ people across the Falkirk area; commends the group’s rapid growth and positive impact, including welcoming over 60 regular attendees to their weekly peer support sessions, attaining charitable status, and receiving nominations for both local and national awards; congratulates them on organising Falkirk’s first Pride celebration in several years, helping to restore inclusive representation and celebration of LGBTIQ+ lives in the region; notes that many LGBTIQ+ individuals still face isolation, exclusion, and significant barriers to wellbeing; praises Queer Breakfast Club for creating safe, joyful, and inclusive spaces through activities such as shared breakfasts, board games, and social events; and urges local authorities, public bodies, and government ministers to champion and invest in grassroots organisations like Queer Breakfast Club, whose efforts are crucial in fostering connection, solidarity, and dignity for LGBTIQ+ communities.
