This year, your Kiltwalk journey can mean so much more. Every stride you take helps Aberlour Children’s Charity provide care, love, and opportunities for children in Scotland who need it most. Walk with us and be part of something bigger 👟✨ https://www.aberlour.org.uk/kiltwalk

We’re at #Cosla25 conference to meet and discuss with local authorities and local councillors our work to tackle child poverty and support families across Scotland. If you are here too come by to say hello. 👋

During #NSMW2025 it's vital we acknowledge the reality that school meal debt is affecting too many children and their families in England, as it is in Scotland. No child should be burdened with debt or denied a school meal due to financial hardship.

We're proud to sign this letter and continue to support calls to scrap the 2-child limit. It's the first and most direct way we can begin to reduce child poverty. We urge Keir Starmer to do the right thing. #EndChildPoverty @cpaguk.bsky.social

It's #NSMW25 in England and we're highlighting our research into School Meal Debt in England. Our research indicates that 1 in 4 children in England not in receipt of Free School Meals have school meal debt. No child should be burdened with debt or denied a school meal due to financial hardship.

We support @thepromise.scot call for all political parties to recommit to #KeepThePromise to Scotland's children.

Today we are launching our pre-election paper setting out what must be done by the next Scottish Government and Members of the Scottish Parliament to ensure that the promise is kept. Read the full paper here▶️ ow.ly/NyKb50XpSqS

This #RemembranceDay we're thinking of all the Aberlour "old boys" who signed up to do their bit for their country during WWI and WWII. Many of the former orphanage residents wrote letters throughout the war to the only home they knew, the Aberlour orphanage. #Aberlour150 #RemembranceDay

We marched. We spoke up. We demanded better.  Recently, thousands of people came together to demand for change in Scotland, to make our country better for everyone. Here is what that looked like 👉  #ScotlandDemandsBetter

Today a wreath will be laid at the War Memorial in Aberlour in memory of the young men who grew up in the Aberlour Orphanage and who went on to bravely fight for their country in WWI and WWII. #remembrancesunday #aberlour150

We’ve signed @Shelter Scotland’s letter to @JohnSwinney & @KeirStarmer urging action to prevent rolling back people's lifeline housing rights.

Debates around refugees and homelessness have turned toxic, and people are paying the price. We’re calling on ministers to protect rights, lead with compassion, and work with those on the frontline to find real solutions. #HousingEmergency 📢 Read our joint open letter 🔗 shelterscotland.org/OLRH

It’s #TalkMoneyWeek and our young people are ready to #StartTheConversation on what needs to change for young people and families to feel more in control of their money and feel supported 🤝💰

We welcome The Poverty & Inequality Commissions latest report to Scot Gov. We support their recommendations including increasing the Scottish Child Payment & greater clarity on the definition of whole family support & how it can help reduce child poverty. 👇 povertyinequality.scot/publication/...

Happy #TrusteesWeek to all our board! Thanks to your support we've been able to reach even more children and families in Scotland who need us. #ThankYou

Having launched our 2026 Manifesto, we are going to be taking a deeper look each week at the six calls. We believe that, if introduced, the six calls would have a profound and positive impact on the lives of parents, carers and their families in Scotland.

Our second manifesto call is to ensure parents and carers are confident champions of their children's rights by increasing their understanding of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

It was great to get together with some of our volunteer befrienders to celebrate #BefriendingWeek! We're looking for volunteers across Scotland, find your ideal role: https://www.aberlour.org.uk/help-us/volunteer #Aberlour 150

Over the summer, young people who live with us and our team walked 150 miles from Kirkcaldy to our founding village in Aberlour. The walk took over a month! Congratulations to everyone who took part, what a wonderful way to mark 150 years of Aberlour! #CEW25 #CareExperiencedWeek #Aberlour150

We'll be there! Join us to demand better for Scotland's children. #Edinburgh #25Oct #ScotlandDemandsBetter www.scotland-demands-better.com
