Scottish Awards Lunch

Celebrating those who make our work in Scotland possible and so rewarding


Our Scottish project was able to officially recognise the support and inspiration we receive from those we work with at our 21st birthday celebration and awards ceremony on 19th October.  Held at Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Gardens, and made possible due to the support of Digby Brown Solicitors, it was a wonderful day, enjoyed by all.


Jacqueline McPherson (Specialist Paediatric Neurology Nurse at Royal Hospital for Sick
Children, Edinburgh), received the Impact Award in recognition of her close work with the
Scottish project over the years. Awarded by Robert Swanney, Senior Partner at Digby Brown Solicitors.
The Shearer family with Kathleen McMonagle of Digby Brown.
Deserving winners of the Inspirational Family Award.


Lauchlan Dougall and family, winner of Supporter of the Year Award.
Lauchlan raised over £2500 for the charity this year; a truly inspirational young man.

The awards were hand carved by Ike Curran especially for the occasion. More info on Ike's work can be found here: http://www.wheelchairwoodturners.org.uk/index.htm
