Aberdeen Stories

  • Submitted by: Kevin Stewart, Aberdeen Central, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Monday, 08 June 2015
  • Motion reference: S4M-13411

That the Parliament commends the Aberdeen Council for Voluntary Organisations (ACVO) on the launch of #10AberdeenStories; understands that this gives Aberdonians an opportunity to help their fellow citizens facing a challenge in their lives, share their experiences and have their voices heard; believes that the project is being run in conjunction with Robert Gordon University and was formulated to highlight the life challenges of people in Aberdeen in response to feedback from the Big Aberdeen event; notes that the first story, which was launched in June 2015 during National Dementia Week, tells Bob Walker’s experiences of caring for his late wife, Diane, through early onset dementia; recognises what it sees as Bob's bravery; understands that he felt that it was his duty to pass on his experience to benefit others in some way; urges people to visit acvo.org.uk/resources/big-aberdeen/10aberdeenstories/ and to share their views and knowledge, and wishes ACVO and all of the participants all the best in their endeavours.
