About Aberlour Children's Charity

Aberlour is one of the largest Scottish children's charities, celebrating 150 years helping to improve the lives of Scotland's disadvantaged children and young people. At Aberlour we know that not all children are born with an equal chance. Together, we will be brave for children, young people and families and will overcome poverty, disadvantage and discrimination.

Aberlour's mission is to reach Scotland's disadvantaged children as early as possible to stop damage being done, before families reach crisis point, before it's too late. Taking action quickly, significantly improves long-term outcomes for children and young people and raising additional funds to support this work is crucial.
