SCOTLAND'S NATIONAL CHILDREN'S CHARITY

Children 1st supports children in Scotland to live in safe, loving families and to build strong communities. As well as providing  holistic family support and trauma recovery in neighbourhoods across Scotland, we work with children, young people and their families to uphold and progress their rights and to strengthen and improve the systems that are there to support them.

Families are telling us that the distress and anxiety caused by coronavirus is having a lasting impact on their children's mental health.

Thousands of children in distress are on a waiting list for early help and support.

No child should have to wait for support.

If your family needs support Children 1st Parentline  is here for you.

  • Find support
    Children 1st Parentline is here to help. We offer financial, emotional and practical support for every family in Scotland.
