Kathleen McDermott Carberry becomes a With Kids ambassador

Kathleen was born and raised in the east end of Glasgow, although despite all of her success, she has remained loyal to the city she has spent all her life in, and to this day, still calls Glasgow her home.

To young people growing up in deprived areas, Kathleen is an inspiration. This is why she was invited back to her former school, St. Andrews secondary to speak to pupils.

It is also the reason why With Kids, approached her to become one of the charity's ambassadors alongside fellow Glaswegians, actor Robert Carlyle, and photographer David Eustace.

"I grew up in a stable background but a lot of kids didn't. There was no charity like With Kids back then. Now all i can do is raise awareness. 

I am born and bred in the east end of Glasgow. I was raised in Barlanark, it's not the most glam of places. I still speak with a Glasgow accent and i am not ashamed of it."

On June 23rd at the Hilton Hotel a fashion show with a difference will help to raise funds for some of Glasgow’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable children. The show will be organised by With Kids, the charity that seeks to help these children in Glasgow’s East End.

The With Kids Charity Ball & Fashion Show will be hosted by Kathleen McDermott Carberry, the Bafta Award winning actress who is herself a native of Glasgow’s East End. Kathleen will be joined on the night by John Amabile, the celebrity interior designer and television presenter.

A table of ten will cost £750 and we’d be delighted if you and your friends and clients could join us for a memorable night.  Drinks Reception, Dinner, Fashion Show, Auction, Entertainment. Tickets are available from fiona@fatbuzz.com.
