GRACE Exhibition Shines at The Scottish Parliament for Mental Health Awareness Week

We were honoured to host our Garden Lobby exhibition at The Scottish Parliament from 6–8 May 2025, during #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. A big thank you to the MSPs who took the time to speak with us — including Sue Webber MSP Bill Kidd MSP Brian Whittle MSP Willie Rennie Colin Smyth MSP Pam Gosal MSP Stuart McMillan MSP Clare Adamson MSP for Motherwell and Wishaw Fergus Ewing MSP John Mason Your support and interest in recovery aftercare means so much. Your passion for community wellbeing was clear and inspiring 

Members of the Scottish Parliament invite charities to exhibit throughout the year, giving groups like ours the opportunity to get our message out to representatives from all over the country. We’re incredibly grateful to have been given that platform. – Lynnie, GRACE aftercare

It was my first time in the Parliament building — lovely to visit, and yes… I got my photo on those iconic stairs you see on the telly! Everyone was so welcoming, even happily answering our touristy questions about the building. – Yvette, GRACE aftercare

Amazing to speak with MSPs who care about community engagement and support GRACE in raising awareness of the need for recovery aftercare in our communities.

Here’s to continuing the conversation about community-based recovery, connection and care
