A big-hearted teenager who has been helping others open up about their mental health is a finalist in the Young Scotswoman of the Year contest run via The Glasgow Evening Times.
Last year Largs Academy pupil Corrie Shepherd set up a groundbreaking support network 'Clearer Minds' to improve young people's mental health after she watched pupils struggle to cope with the death of a fellow pupil.
Having successfully obtained funding to run the project for 18 months, Corrie is now seeking ways to ensure it can continue after she leaves in the summer.
There is a public vote to decide the winner of Young Scotswoman of the Year, closing on 24th February.
