Parliament

Scotland must play its part in supporting refugees from Ukraine. Today, I asked the Scot Gov to commit to provide: – Immediate mental health support, particularly for survivors of abuse & sexual violence – Access to digital support & connectivity

We stand in solidarity with Ukraine. With the new Economic Crime Bill, we can show our support with actions, not just words. The UK and Scottish Governments must sanction those who have extracted money from the Russian people and economy – then bought land and homes in the UK.

Yesterday, in our Committee’s session, I raised the need for investment to kickstart support for social prescribing for art & health. Preventative spending works – we need a joined up approach from Scot Gov to put it into practice. Find out more here.
