David’s story

David came to Thistle for support a year ago…

"I’m David Dempster, I’m 49 years old. I’ve been attending Thistle for about 12 months. In the period of time up until I started coming to Thistle I was actually deteriorating rapidly. I was actually getting to the point where I was reclusive, and that’s not good when you’re a father and a husband and all that sort of stuff, you’ve still got to perform your family duties. Thistle has helped me to change my attitude to life and to other people."

Thistle has helped me change my attitude… to life and to other people.

There are currently 2 million people in Scotland living with long term health conditions.

Support people like Anna, and don’t let a health crisis become a life crisis.
