As young people learn more about their family circumstances, they can face challenges around self-worth and belonging. Our Kinship Care programme provides a safe place to connect with others in a similar situation, build confidence and know they're not alone in their experiences.

🏃 A new season of Joy of Moving is getting underway! Delivered by Ferrero UK in partnership with the SPFL Trust, Joy of Moving uses play and movement to inspire children to be active while developing physical fitness, motor coordination, cognitive function and important life skills.

In Scotland, the programme reaches almost 7,000 children across Primary 5, 6 and 7 in Glasgow and Edinburgh, delivered through Celtic FC Foundation, Big Hearts Community Trust and Rangers Charity Foundation.

With a new season beginning, we're looking forward to seeing another group of young people get moving, have fun and develop skills that can benefit them both on and off the pitch. ⚽
