Elaine C. Smith - With Kids Links families of the East End together..

In this final part of two videos, Elaine talks passionately about the East End, and how it is home to very creative, talented and successful public figures. She then goes on to give us her advice to the kids if they want to achieve their goals. Work hard, be creative and be involved.

As the interviews goes on, Elaine talks about how there wasn't an organisation like With Kids when she was growing up, and how they could have benefited many of the families in Glasgow's East End. Towards the end of the interview we begin to discuss how With Kids Links families of the East End together, and their is a strong sense of community there.

Finally Elaine finishes off by talking about how the scottish people never let you forget where you came from, and how important it is to remember where you came from, but for Elaine, it would take a lot more to make her forget where she was born and raised, as she still lives in the East End today.

Elaine C. Smith - Early intervention is essential to the children..

We are delighted to announce that Elaine C. Smith has agreed to come on board as a With Kids Ambassador.

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.
