You can help children get Back To School this January.

As we head into the new year, we need to support vulnerable families with access to Back-to-School packs, and vouchers to enable families to purchase school necessities, such as uniforms, shoes, stationery and backpacks.

The financial pressure following the festive season and the expenses of getting children back to school will have many local families already wondering where they are going to find the money.

Give the gift of education via our website.

Each year the Spa Quilters from Hepburn make quilts that, throughout the year, we provide to children who are entering care.

Sometimes when children are taken into Foster, Kinship or Residential Care they will arrive at a home with nothing but the clothes they are wearing.

These quilts provide comfort, warmth and represent something handmade (with love and care) that the child can keep wherever they go in the future.

From everyone at Cafs – Thank-you for your ongoing support and care.
