Thank you National Lottery Community Fund for funding our work! Through our email service, we have provided legal advice and support to thousands of families, children and young people across Scotland. But we know that people need different ways to feel supported, so we’re looking to diversify how people can reach us.
We are planning on providing more in-person advice to reduce barriers around our services and be more connected with local communities.
Thanks to the National Lottery and our funders, we will be opening a community clinic where children, young people and families can talk to us and get advice on child and family law-related issues.
The National Lottery Community Fund Scotland Chair, Kate Still, said:
“Every day National Lottery funding is changing the lives of thousands of people in communities across Scotland. This project, delivered by Scottish Child Law Centre is a great example of community activity in action, showing just what can be achieved when people come together for a common cause or to help others.
“National Lottery players can be proud to know that the money they raise is helping to support this vital work which is making a real difference to so many.”
This project has taken a lot of time and resources to come together and we’re excited to share our plans with communities soon. We will be publishing a full plan for our upcoming clinic so follow our social media for updates!
