About Aberlour - scotland's children's charity
Aberlour - Scotland's Children's Charity: A Legacy of Compassion and Care
Aberlour is a Scottish charity that has been providing care and support to vulnerable children and families for over 140 years. Founded in 1875 by the Reverend Charles Jupp, Aberlour was established as a home for orphaned, destitute, and neglected children in the Speyside region of Scotland. Today, Aberlour continues to provide vital services to children and young people across Scotland who are facing significant challenges in their lives.
At Aberlour, we believe that every child deserves the chance to reach their full potential. We work tirelessly to ensure that vulnerable children receive the care, support, and opportunities they need to thrive. Our services include residential care homes for children who cannot live with their families; family support services that help parents build stronger relationships with their children; youth groups that provide safe spaces for young people to socialize and learn new skills; mentoring programs that match young people with positive role models; advocacy services that help young people access their rights; and much more.
Our approach is based on a deep understanding of the complex needs of vulnerable children. We know that every child is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, hopes, and dreams. That's why we take a holistic approach to our work - addressing not just immediate needs but also long-term goals such as education, employment prospects or independent living skills.
We are proud of our heritage as an organization rooted in Scottish culture - from our name (Aberlour is named after a picturesque village on Speyside) to our flagship fundraising event (the annual Whisky Festival). But we are also committed to being an inclusive organization that welcomes everyone regardless of background or identity.
One thing sets us apart from other charities: all funds raised go directly towards supporting vulnerable children across Scotland. This means your donation will make an immediate and tangible difference to the lives of children and young people who need it most.
We are grateful for the support of our donors, volunteers, and partners who help us achieve our mission. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable children across Scotland.
