We want to see a commitment to reimbursing voluntary organisations in the same way as planned for the public sector. The vital role charities, already under strain, play in delivering essential services must not be overlooked. (2/2)

We would like to thank our fantastic neighbours the Black Ivy Bar & Hotel who will be raising funds for Children First through their festive Christmas lights appeal. We went along to their annual light switch on and met some of those who sponsored a light on the charity tree! 🎄

A debate is underway in the @ScotParl on Keeping the Promise. We are in the wake of a childhood emergency in Scotland. That’s why, at Children First we are determined that @ThePromiseScot is kept. But there is still a long way to go. (1/3)

We believe early support for children and families is crucial. We are calling on all parties in the @ScotParl to ensure:
