Darren Millan - Treasurer / Youth Coordinator

Hi my name is Darren (Daz) Millan. I'm about 4ft 2" and proud of it! I am currently studying for a Bachelor Degree in Accounting & Finance at the University of Glasgow. I have parents who, like me, have Achondroplasia. I have been fortunate enough to be introduced to other people with dwarfism since an early age and I feel this helped me deal well with concerns I had when I was a teenager.

I am currently the Youth coordinator for Short Stature Scotland, and in this role it is my responsibility to keep in touch with the youth members in SSS and to organise social events for them. So if you have any ideas for possible events or just want a friendly ear to listen I can be contacted via the email address below.

Linda Mooney - Member

Hi, I'm Linda; my connection with Short Stature Scotland is through my best friend Jackie. We have been friends since we were 11 years old. I am married with two sons, both of average height. My husband, one of our sons and I have a visual impairment. Although I don't have a child with a growth condition, I do understand the difficulties because Jackie and I grew up together. When I don't have my guide dog, Coupar with me, Jackie and I have an understanding, she is my eyes and I am her height when needed.

I am a trained counsellor and at present volunteer for Childline. I would be willing to travel to various parts of Scotland to meet potential members/members, but unfortunately, I would need to know in advance because I work full-time. Please contact me.
