The good work of a local charity which fights for the rights of people with learning disabilities will be highlighted on primetime BBC One television tonight.

Volunteers with the Falkirk branch of Enable Scotland enjoyed a big surprise this week when two of BBC1’s Gladiators – Viper and Nitro – appeared at their Elgin Place, Falkirk base.

The telly stars were there as part of the One Show’s One Big Thank You initiative to thank volunteer Maureen Kilgour for all her hard work setting up clubs and festivals for people with disabilities.

Maureen said: “I can’t wait to see all our guys enjoying themselves on TV.”
