How we can help

We help to support children and their families in local communities across Scotland. You can get in touch with our local service teams below but if you can't find what you are looking, please get in touch by emailing cfs@childrenfirst.org.uk.
Via our  support line and locally in their homes, schools and communities, we help children, their families and the people who care for them by offering emotional, practical and financial support.
