We have been caring for children and young people for over 200 years.
We offer fostering and continuing care in family settings, matched with a child or young person’s individual needs. We work with foster carers across Scotland. The majority of our carers are based in Fife, Angus, Clackmannanshire and Dundee.
In July 2022 we launched our Supported Care service. We are are recruiting Host Families to support separated children in Dundee.
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 foster carers and staff.
Established in 1815, we are one of Scotland’s oldest children’s charities. We have a long history of meeting the needs of children and young people during times of constant social and economic change. Once an orphanage, we are now a foster agency.
