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

It was great to spend our leadership day discussing Aberlour’s approach to ‘Safeguarding Children and Young People in a Digital World’. Special thanks to our inspiring keynote speaker Stuart Allardyce @LucyFaithfullFoundation

"It was the best day ever!" 🤩 Recently we had the opportunity to take Chevi, a huge K-pop fan, to see her favourite group Stray Kids in London. To get there she took her first ever flight! ✈️ She was a bit nervous but dealt with it like a pro 🕺 We're so proud of her! 💓 #KeepThePromise

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

It's been great to welcome our new CEO Justina Murray who's started with us this week. She will work alongside & take over from @sallyannkelly1.bsky.social on Mon 3rd Nov. This gives SallyAnn time to visit services & say her goodbyes to the people she has worked with before she leaves later in Nov.

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

And @aberlourcharity.bsky.social research shows that nearly 1 in 4 pupils in England not eligible for FSMs have school meal debt. Many children face food insecurity at school and families not eligible for FSMs struggle to feed their children at home or at school www.aberlour.org.uk/publications...

This International Day for the Eradication of Poverty we'd like to highlight the recent feedback our children and young people gave to the Scottish Government to inform them on their Child Poverty Delivery Plan.  #InternationalDayForTheEradicationOfPoverty #EndPoverty #IDEP2025

We know public debt traps families in poverty and holds them there. Our research into the public debt crisis, with @opfs.org.uk & @trussellscot.bsky.social, highlights how families with a disabled child are at higher risk of being trapped in poverty due to public debt. #CPW25 #ChallengePoverty
