David Eustace becomes a With Kids ambassador - Part One

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.

Having grown up in a poverty stricken area in the east end of Glasgow in the 60's and 70's and raised by adoptive parents Jimmy and Susan Eustace, David knew of the troubles that families have gone through in the less fortunate areas of the city, but he encourages children never to let the fact that you are from the east end hold you back.

 "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."


In this part one of three interviews, David talks of his up-bringing in the east end of Glasgow, his happy memories of his childhood, and tells us the advice he would give to children in order for them to reach their goals.

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".

East End Cinema Night

With Kids convert the basement of their headquarters at Annfield Place, every other Thursday to host a cinema night for families.

It is a great way for families to interact with other families, enjoy popcorn, sweets, hot dogs and juice and best of all it is free of charge. As we are all well aware, a cinema trip for the average family of four can be extremely expensive and also younger children often get restless and interrupt other viewers.

With Kids staff also provide a separate room as a break out area for the restless children, fully equipped with toys and games. The children can go back in to watch the film at any point.

Paul Saunders who owns Paul Saunders Media went along to one of the Cinema Nights and did an audio recording of the event which was mentioned on the BBC Radio Scotland's Movie cafe programme hosted by Janice Forsyth.
