Aberlour Child Care Trust was developed 149 years ago with a mission to support orphaned and disadvantaged children. The Trust we know today aims to help disadvantaged children and families in Scotland have a brighter future. We work together to beat poverty, disadvantage, and discrimination.

We provide support at the earliest opportunity. Giving children an equal chance, and the best possible start in life is at the heart of everything we do. Cowan Grove Mother and Child Recovery House provides a supportive environment for women and their children to remain together whilst they address their substance use at their own pace and without judgement.
