Future Pathways urges survivors of abuse in care to come forward and seek support from a £13.5 million fund set up to help.
Tragically, many children raised in care in Scotland were subjected to abuse or neglect but, with Future Pathways, they can now access support to help them find a more positive path ahead.
Anyone over 18 who experienced abuse while living in care, which includes residential or foster care, boarding school – state or private – a long-term stay in hospital or time spent in a young offenders institution, can apply.
A £13.5 million fund is available until March 2021 to help support people abused when they should have been cared for and nurtured.
It doesn’t matter where you live now, or even if you don’t live in Scotland – as long as the abuse or neglect took place in Scotland, you could still access support from Future Pathways.
