A WOMAN who makes teddy bears that help disabled children and adults has been shortlisted for a special award.

Fiona Allan, from Partick, creates teddy bears and toys so that they have the same medical devices as sick and disabled children and adults.

Her hard work makes it easier, especially for children, to accept the medical devices that keep them healthy, whilst serving as an educational tool for friends and family.

Fiona, who suffers from numerous chronic illnesses, also helps to run online support groups.

She is nominated for a Let’s Make A Difference Award from Avant Homes.

Fiona said: “I honestly don’t see myself as doing anything special, so to know others do is really heart-warming.”
