Courage in action

Life dealt Keith Swankie a devastating blow when he was diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) in 2012. The debilitating neurological condition is relatively unknown, meaning he struggled to get the support he needed.

Lesser men might have buckled. Mr Swankie knuckled down and campaigned for greater awareness and has now been credited with helping to secure Scottish Government funding for a new development worker. His strength is an inspiration.
