  • Motion reference: S6M-19563

That the Parliament congratulates Forehill Primary School on recently being awarded funding through Tesco’s Golden Grants scheme, which supports schools and community groups to promote healthy lifestyles; recognises that as part of Tesco’s Stronger Starts community programme, customers at Tesco Extra in the Danestone area of Aberdeen took part in a lucky dip on 6 September 2025 to find a golden version of Tesco’s famous blue voting token, with the winning shopper choosing a local school to receive a one-off grant; understands that Forehill Primary School was awarded £5,000, which will allow it to purchase new gymnastics bars and mats, helping to support interest in healthy living for pupils; believes that, across the UK, over £500,000 was awarded to local schools from similar Golden Grants events in 107 Tesco stores, and wishes everyone at Forehill Primary School all the best going forward.
