National Recognition for Irvine Judo Volunteer

  • Submitted by: Ruth Maguire, Cunninghame South, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Friday, 01 March 2024
  • Motion reference: S6M-12355

That the Parliament congratulates Irvine’s Nicola Brawley on being awarded Volunteer of the Year by JudoScotland; understands that Nicola volunteers her time at Irvine Judo Club, where she works hard to ensure that the club operates smoothly; recognises that Nicola organises a Judo Girls Rock session in Irvine, which is a participation programme aimed at bridging the gender gap in judo, particularly among young females; considers that the initiative not only promotes inclusivity within the sport, but also addresses what it sees as the broader issue of female underrepresentation in physical activity programmes, both locally and nationally; congratulates Nicola on her award-winning effort, and wishes her every success in the future.
