We have been providing positive outcomes for children and young people for over 200 years.

Established in 1815, we are one of Scotland’s oldest children’s charities. We are a provider of foster and continuing care services. We also provide a supported lodgings service alongside a therapeutic residential service in Cupar, Fife.
We have a long history of meeting the needs of children and young people during times of constant social and economic change.
At Carolina House Trust we firmly believe that every child and young person deserves the opportunity to reach their potential and enjoy a safe and nurturing childhood. Our focus is on providing positive outcomes for all children and young people by providing them with excellent care and personalised, dedicated support from our carers and staff.
We offer fostering and supported lodgings placements in family settings, matched with a child or young person’s individual needs. We support foster care placements from across Scotland. The majority of our placements based in Fife, Angus, Clackmannanshire and Dundee and we are looking to expand into other areas.
Help us make a difference by volunteering or becoming a foster carer.

 Read ArticleCarolina House Trust is an ethically focused organisation. We place quality above quantity, with the children, young people, carers and the staffs’ well being at the forefront of our service. We are a relatively small organisation which is ideal for encouraging lasting relationships built upon trust and respect to grow between our staff, carers, children and young people.
We enjoy being able to help the young people with life skills such as cooking, budgeting and encouraging them to seek further education or employment.
