Aberlour Children's Charity Building brighter futures for disadvantaged children and families in Scotland.

09/10/2026

In the past three years, the Aberlour Urgent Assistance Fund has given our £2million in cash grant to families in desperate need.

These cash grants have been used by parents to by the basics their children need like food, warm clothing and beds to sleep in. In 2026 it's shocking that a fund like this has to exists.

We will continue to and support the children, young people and families who need us.

Did you know that 1 in 6 women in the UK experience economic abuse?

To mark the start of Challenge Poverty Week our CEO, Justina Murray, spoke to The Sunday Post about how abusers are continuing to weaponise money and debt to control former partners.

The hopes of low-income families attempting to escape abuse should not be capsized by public debt collection that can be more humane and less destructive.

In the UK, 1 in 6 women experience economic abuse.

That's why this we're called for legislative, policy and practice change to tackle Scotland's public debt crisis. We must give victim survivors and their children the safe road to recovery that they all deserve.

To kick off our CEO, Justina Murray, spoke with the Daily Record.

It's shocking that 210,000 children are living in poverty in one of the wealthiest countries in the world.

There is no magic bullet. But we do know what works. We have known for years.

It's time to see the wood not the trees, to recognise and appreciate what is already working and build on it.

Recently young people supported by our Routes service in Falkirk visited the Campbells Prime Meat Ltd Trade factory. The young people got an insight into the variety of jobs, equipment and specialist skills involved at a national meat and fish supplier – including holding a lobster that was older than them all put together!

However the most important learning from the visit was the Campbells’ staff sharing their own journeys to employment - starting part-time roles at Campbells’ and then being supported through apprenticeships into careers they genuinely love. It was such a powerful message for our young people to hear and showed them that there are so many different routes to success.

This visit wouldn’t have been possible without our partnership with the Worshipful Company of Butchers who are providing £60,000 over the next three years to support young people across Scotland through a range of activities, including visits like this. Thank you!
