A huge congratulations to our Neighbour, Pauline Moriarty, Founder of Beautiful Inside & Out, who won the Fundraiser Award at 2025's Make a Difference Awards by BBC Radio Scotland.

Pauline and her team of counsellors and therapists, some based at CentreStage, work tirelessly to support troubled individuals and bereaved parents and siblings affected by suicide. All in memory of Pauline's daughter Jenna, who died aged just 13, the charity also delivers awareness-raising talks to schools, universities, and workplaces across the country.

Pauline said she felt overwhelmed to be nominated, and even more so to win the award.

"I look on this award as recognising the importance of the work of all of our wonderful volunteers who help raise funds for our services through our charity shop, craft Fayres and events, as well as our invaluable therapists and counsellors who work directly to improving and saving lives. This award enabled us to further raise awareness, which has led to more and more people reaching out to us for support. In this way, receiving this award may indeed save more lives."

Over the last eleven years, Beautiful Inside & Out has evolved in many ways and now offers a range of counselling services and therapies, including sound and music, play, equine, and art.

At CentreStage, we are incredibly proud to support this organisation. The charity has transformed two of the rooms in our Neighbourhood into sanctuaries of support. Here, counsellors and therapists deliver tailored sessions to help people put their best foot forward. It is a privilege to enable and be part of this.

Congratulations, Pauline!
