Children First

Children First

Putting children first across Scotland

 
Children First is Scotland’s national children’s charity. We stand up for every child because all children should have a safe childhood.
 
We protect children from harm and support them to recover from trauma and abuse through our national support line and in their homes, schools and communities.
 
We help children, their families and the people that care for them by offering emotional, practical, and financial support.
 
We believe all children should have hopes, dreams and opportunities. But, for many they don’t exist.
 
We work with families, funders, supporters, partners and volunteers to put Scotland’s children first. Together we can create a safer, brighter future for all children in Scotland.
