What a morning at Craighalbert Church Hall. 😃

Our family groups and teen/young adult crew joined forces for a brilliant dry curling session with Scottish Curling & ParalympicsGB athlete — our amazing ambassador — Meggan Dawson‑Farrell. 🥌

Meggan, who has spina bifida and hydrocephalus first discovered a passion for sport at one of our events many years ago. Today, she was back inspiring the next generation with her energy, skill and unstoppable positivity.

Huge thanks to Scottish Curling for helping make it happen. Moments like this show exactly why inclusive sport matters.

✨ “We don’t just survive. We sparkle.” ✨

Thank you to Matthew Carroll who shared his experience of living with spina bifida with guests at SBH Scotland’s Burns Supper. Matthew's moving speech detailed the challenges he has faced but how he has never let his condition define what he could achieve.

When Matthew was born, doctors told his parents that he would never walk. But his parents didn't listen.

🗣 Matthew says: “They saw beyond the limitations and believed in me, even when I couldn't believe in myself."

“Fast forward to today, and I'm proud to say that I'm not only walking, but I'm living a full and vibrant life."

“For me, my disability has become a superpower. It allows me to connect with young people in a way that others can't. It allows me to see the world from a different perspective, to find creative solutions to complex problems." 💜

Matthew shared some advice for anyone navigating the challenges of living with disability:

“Don't let anyone tell you that you're limited by your disability. Don't let fear hold you back from pursuing your dreams. You are capable of greatness, and it all stems from love – love for yourself, love for your family, and love for the community that supports you." 🙌

We couldn't agree more! Thank you Matthew for sharing your story of determination, resilience and positivity. 🌟

Together we are unstoppable. 🤝
