It’s been lovely to get to know Justina and to offer her a really comprehensive overview of all that is @aberlourcharity.bsky.social - I am sure under her leadership the organisation and the children and families it seeks to serve will continue to go from strength to strength. Good luck Justina. ❤️❤️

#Thanks @ross-greer.bsky.social for highlighting Aberlour's work to tackle public debt including council tax arrears that too often traps children and families in poverty and holds them there.

Good to hear @ross-greer.bsky.social focus on the issue of problem public debt and CTax arrears. @aberlourcharity.bsky.social evidence shows low income families are facing a public debt crisis. Reducing child poverty must mean tackling public debt. Reforming CTax recovery is a good place to start.

#ThankYou Kammi for completing a one day 75-hole golfing challenge ⛳ in aid of our Mother and Child Recovery House in Dundee. His amazing fundraiser raised an outstanding £1200 to support the mums and their babies living with us on their recovery journey 🌟

Our Young People's Voices Group, supported by Guardianship Scotland, had a wonderful trip to @parliament.scot yesterday. The group met with @nataliedon-innes.bsky.social to discuss issues important to them. They also managed to watch a live debate. #KeepThePromise @scotrefugeecouncil.bsky.social

Real impact, real change 🌟 

And while we’re proud of how far we’ve come, we know the journey isn’t over. There’s still so much more to do - and we’re ready for what comes next 💪

Recently, a group of P7 pupils from Aberlour Primary School won the Moray Big Build Challenge with their fantastic model of the Aberlour clock tower 🏆 

The boys did a brilliant job designing and building their clock tower – huge congratulations to them for winning the challenge!

Wee bit chilly in Aberlour this morning. Sun is out though so it’ll warm up soon enough!

Celebrating 150 years of the Episcopalian Church of St Margaret which the children of the Aberlour Orphanage attended @aberlourcharity.bsky.social

Lovely to be back in Aberlour for my last formal visit to the village.

Thank you @johnswinney.bsky.social for your very generous comments 🙏🙏

Very pleased to have joined @sallyannkelly1.bsky.social at celebrations to mark 150years of @aberlourcharity.bsky.social supporting children, young people and families in Scotland.

En route to London to hear Barack Obama. Looking forward to hearing his analysis of current world politics.

White text on purple background reads: "We all deserve to be safe and feel like we belong, no matter where we come from or how we arrived."

We stand in solidarity with people seeking safety and against acts of violence and intimidation taking place in parts of the country.

Times are tough but people fleeing war and persecution are not to blame for Scotland’s problems. Everyone deserves to be safe and feel like they belong.

It was wonderful to be joined by @johnswinney.bsky.social, @kirstymcneill.bsky.social, our team, children, young people and their families and former residents of the Aberlour Orphanage. The event was a great opportunity to celebrate and commemorate our past.

Started it at breakfast - mentions of spotting animals in clouds enough to get me hooked - amazing how many times bears appear - never mind rabbits 😂😂

Just back from watching Inter Alia at GFT as part of National Theatre Live - what a performance! Got back home to this long awaited delivery and looking forward to diving in @damianbarr.bsky.social
