After working for St Andrew's Children's Society for 33 years it is now time to retire and I wanted to do one last thing to help us raise funds to allow us to continue to transform the lives of vulnerable children living in Scotland through adoption and foster care for over 100 years. Our mission is to ensure that all children can grow up in a safe and loving home. Many of the children who are adopted and fostered have experienced trauma and as a result they and their adoptive and foster care families need ongoing support from us. As a voluntary adoption and fostering agency we rely on fundraising to pay for the support we offer our amazing families.
