Please consider making a donation to support our continuing work
We are an independent charity based in Dundee and Glenrothes, and we are a member of Relationships Scotland, an Organisation based in Edinburgh which is made up of 21 local Services, like us, as its members. We:
- face all the normal overheads of any business,
- only recently invested heavily in a new building in Dundee to improve facilities,
- continuously invest in resources, toys, equipment to improve families’ experiences,
- continuously invest in training and expanding our practitioner-base and workforce to maintain the highest of practice standards.
The word “charity” sometimes causes confusion. It doesn’t mean that we can offer a free service; rather, that we are a non-profit organisation which returns all its income into the services that we provide. It also means that while we charge for some of our services, we offer flexible concessionary rates to individuals or families on a low income - we won’t let fees become an obstacle to helping as many people as we can. Currently, in some local authority areas we cover, we can offer free sessions thanks to central and local authority funding and through the third sector interfaces.
It costs us around £65 to arrange each appointment for you (this varies from service to service).
To help our efforts, please consider to make a contribution to help us help the next family, too.
Generally, payment is due at the time of the ongoing appointments, and cancellation fees may apply. Set up fees are non-refundable.
