Fancy donning some tartan in support for Scottish Attachment in Action? Although this year's Kiltwalk's have to date been postponed, you can virtually take part in next weekend's event.

Simply don a bit of tartan and complete your Kiltwalk challenge during your walk or daily exercise. You decide on whatever walk length you want! Normal walk lengths are approx. 6 miles, 11 or 25 miles but don't feel stuck to these, tailor the walk length to suit you and your local area.

Fancy changing it up? You have the freedom to adapt your challenge to anything you wish from a kilted 'trampoline-a-thon' to an 'all day highland fling', as long as it's raising money!  Sign up by July 2nd, and you have until midnight on 7th July to generate as much fundraising as possible.   SIGN UP HERE 
​Scottish Attachment in Action joins the voice of the Care Review and the Scottish Government. Scotland must love its families and become lifelong good parents.  #keepthepromise 

The Care Review has produced seven main reports:  
​The Promise reflects what over 5,500 care experienced children and adults, families and the paid and unpaid workforce told the Care Review in the hope that Scotland is listening. It will tell Scotland what it must do to make sure its most vulnerable children feel loved and have the childhood they deserve. See also the Pinky Promise.
The Plan explains how this change must happen.  
The Money and Follow the Money explain how Scotland can invest better in its children and families.  
The Rules demonstrates the current legislative framework and how it must change to achieve The Promise.
And a THANK YOU to the army of thousand who have contributed to the Care Review.
