Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland

08/03/2026

Happy International Women's Day! 🫶

On this special day, we want to pay tribute to all of the women that have helped shape Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland over the past 60 years.

At the top of that list is Mae Whiteford, one of the founders of SBH Scotland back in 1965, and her daughter, SBH Scotland Chairperson Dr Margo Whiteford. Thanks to Mae and Margo's determination and drive, SBH Scotland continues to help thousands of people living with spina bifida and hydrocephalus feel unstoppable. 💜

Here's to Mae and Margo and all the unstoppable women who make SBH Scotland what it is. 🙌

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

There's still time to sign up to take part in Jail or Bail! 👮🔒

On Friday 27th March, we will be 'arresting', 'charging' and 'putting on trial' some well-known businesspeople who, if found guilty of their entirely fictitious crimes, will have to raise a bail of £999 each to be set free.

All funds raised will go towards helping those living with spina bifida and hydrocephalus feel unstoppable. 💜

Do you have a boss, friend, colleague or local celebrity you would like to put on trial for an annoying habit? Let us know in the comments!

"We need to focus on what disabled people can do; not what they can’t”

Doug Ross, who lives with spina bifida, is supporting SBH Scotland's Choose Opportunity campaign. 🗳

Doug has devoted his professional life to supporting disabled people into employment and supporting them in the workplace. He believes that much more needs to be done to improve opportunities for disabled people:

“Things are definitely better than they used to be, but the fact there is such a wide disability employment gap says that we need real action to change our national culture around disability employment.

“We need to encourage supportive and diverse workplaces as strong workplaces; see adjustments as an investment, not an expense; we need to see the point of the workplace as focusing on what disabled people can do, not what they can’t. Accessible and diverse workplaces benefit everyone.”
