Lodged by Marilyn Livingstone Lab Lodged 3 Nov 2010 29 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament supports Maggie’s Merry Messages and considers it to be a fun and innovative Christmas campaign by Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres in which people are encouraged to write their Christmas messages to friends, family and colleagues on a large, specially designed festive poster in place of sending Christmas cards; notes that people can write their Christmas messages on the poster for all to see and make a donation to Maggie’s in the process; commends the fact that any group of people who send cards to each other can get involved, whether it is a club, a company, a hospital department, a place of worship or a school; welcomes the fact that Maggie’s Merry Messages allows people to help the environment and make a donation to Maggie’s at the same time, and hopes that as many people as possible support the initiative to raise money for their local Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centre.
