That this House welcomes the opening of the House of Hope in Edinburgh South West constituency, Scotland’s first dedicated support and wellbeing centre for individuals affected by breast cancer; acknowledges that the centre offers a warm, community-based alternative to clinical environments, providing free access to holistic therapies, emotional support, and wellbeing services; recognises the vital importance of addressing not only the medical, but also the emotional, social, and financial challenges faced by those living with or beyond a breast cancer diagnosis; notes that the centre was founded by Lisa Fleming and her husband Euan following Lisa’s diagnosis with incurable secondary breast cancer in 2017; commends Lisa and all those involved in delivering this pioneering initiative; and believes that the House of Hope stands as a powerful example of how compassionate, community-led care can complement NHS services and enhance the quality of life for individuals and families.
