Runners up - Bighearted Child of the Year
Abby Tomb and Lauren Riddell
Abby suffers from Lupus, an autoimmune disease which attacks her kidneys and makes her weak and tired. Despite this she volunteers 3 days a month to help Kidney Research UK and has raised around £10,000.
Lauren, another brave young lady, suffers from Neurofibromatosis, which causes severe joint pain and swelling and has also recently recovered from Von Willebrands Disease. However, this doesn't stop her fundraising for Cancer Relief UK by holding garden fetes, candle parties and taking part in the 'Race for Life'.
Congratulations girls.
Cathy & Nicola
MSP Cathy Jamieson with Nicola Sturgeon
Cathy was particularly pleased to attend the awards in support of Bighearted Carer winner Brenda Emmerson
Special Award Winner - Anne Wallace
Anne with Miss Scotland, sponsor of the award businesswoman Vera Weisfeld and Nicola Sturgeon
Anne was recommended for this special award for her services with church group Salt and Light which takes a converted bus into Glasgow's red light district to offer support to vice girls. The bus provides a safe haven for the girls and Anne is a firm favourite for her understanding but cheerful chat.
Scotland's answer to John Barrowman?
We were grandly entertained by Keith Jack, the singer who came 2nd in the BBC One show 'Any Dream Will Do'. Keith is currently working on his second album, a follow up to 'This Time' released last year.
