Creating a brighter future for all Scotland's children
Last year marked our 140th year as Scotland’s national children’s charity. We are proud of the life-changing impact we’ve had on babies, children, young people and families across Scotland.
Our 2024 impact report highlights how our dedicated teams protected thousands of children from harm, kept them safe and supported them to recover from trauma and abuse through our national support line and in their homes, schools and communities across Scotland.
The report also brings to light the continuing challenges faced by children and families, from mental health and money worries, to online harm and struggles at school and the ongoing need for our support.

Children First continues to work tirelessly to provide emotional, practical and financial support to children and families when they need it most.
In 2024 across Scotland, Children First supported more than 8,600 children and over 8,800 parents and carers to have a brighter future through its local services and national support line. In total 17,493 people were supported.
