A CHARITY campaigner who has spent years promoting the message of internet safety among Helensburgh and Lomond’s schoolchildren has received an award in recognition of her efforts.
Sheenah Nelson received the ‘Service Above Self’ award from the Rotary movement’s district governor for the west of Scotland last week.
Sheenah, a member of the Rotary Club of Helensburgh Garelochside, has led the club’s annual internet safety poster competition for local primary school pupils throughout its life, working in partnership with schools, Police Scotland, the Ministry of Defence Police and Argyll and Bute Council.
The news of her latest honour broke just as the Advertiser reported on Sheenah being presented with another major accolade – a ‘Champion of Change’ award by Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland.
That award was given for Sheenah’s years of work campaigning to improve the network of publicly-accessible defibrillators in Helensburgh and Lomond and beyond – and in training the public in how to use a ‘defib’ to help someone who has suffered a cardiac arrest.
