Inspiring West Lothian teen wins £10,000 to help other neurodiverse young people

An inspiring West Lothian teen has been awarded £10,000 to help her develop her non-profit organisation that helps neurodiverse young people find support and friendship.

Kaydi Scottsville, 15, from Livingston, won the international prize and secured the large funding after entering the Bright Future Prize 2022 which is organised by the Ardonagh Community Trust (ACT). She achieved this inspiring feat whilst up against 13-19-year-olds from around the world.

Kaydi won the ‘Your Community’ category by showcasing her non-profit, Diversified. Diversified began as a platform that would sell affordable sensory toys before it became a fully-fledged charity that has online and face-to-face programmes that help neurodiverse teens and their families find support.
