Like many of our other ambassadors, Elaine was born and raised in the East End of Glasgow, and no matter how successful she has been in her career, she has never forgot where she came from and still calls Glasgow's east end home.
In this part one of two videos, Elaine explains how she admires the work that With Kids do, with not only supporting the kids in poverty stricken areas, but helping the Parents also. Elaine then talks about how she loves living in the east end, as it keeps her down to earth and keeps her aware that there are still people who are living in abject poverty.
Although Elaine admitted the east end is not the easiest place to live, that's what she loves about it, and the fact that her own children are growing up aware of their surroundings and know that there are less fortunate than them.
Elaine then goes on to talk about how the East End never had an organisation like With Kids when she was growing up, how their services could have changed many families' lives and how With Kids' early intervention is essential to the children of the East End.
