His grandad Alex Taggart died from cancer in April and the Ralston Primary pupil wanted to do something to help. Mum Leeanne Taggart, who did the walk with him, said: While my dad wasn t treated at the hospice, we were aware of the amazing work that they do and their counselling services they offer. It has been very hard losing my dad particularly this year, but we are very proud of Jayden.
TAKE a look at the mural in St Enoch Centre which celebrates every single Scotswoman of the Year since our awards began in 1963. It is a wall of fame like no other – a reassuring reminder that in every walk of life, in every corner of Scotland, no matter what life throws at them there are always those who rise to the challenge. In 2020, says the centre’s general manager and long-time friend of SWOTY Anne Ledgerwood, that rings true more than ever. “It’s true - 2020 has of course been an incredibly challenging year for everyone due to COVID-19, but it has also brought to the fore some inspirational women in Scotland,” she says.
