After being nominated by Scotwest Credit Union member Brian McQuillan, Bobby Kerr of Glasgow has been awarded £400 by Scotwest Credit Union as part of our 25th Anniversary Community Awards.
Bobby, who co-ordinates work at FARE Scotland in Easterhouse asked for the award to be donated to the organisation.
