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.
