New Ambassador for "With Kids" tells kids to aim high no matter where they come from.

Celebrity photographer, and fellow East End inhabitant, David Eustace has joined forces with Glasgow Children's Charity "With Kids" as an ambassador to the charity.

David grew up in the poverty stricken area in the 60's and 70's by adoptive parents Jimmy and Susan Eustace and says that "It doesn't matter what your second name is, or where you come from, or what other members of your family have done, it's all about you, tomorrow and what you can achieve. You can have dreams, you can do it, but it will involve a lot of bloody hard work."

After leaving school with no qualifications, David went on to become a prison officer in his early 20s at notorious Barlinnie Prison in Glasgow. He said it taught him a lot about life but it wasn't his calling. He said: "Quite a few boys I grew up with ended up in the jail. I tried never to judge them. I tried to understand them".
