With more than a fifth of Aberdeen’s children living in poverty, Befriend a Child is helping families in need cope this winter.
A Poverty Demographic Report from Aberdeen City Council showed that 21.8 per cent of youngsters in Aberdeen City have been judged to be living in poverty, with 21% of children in Scotland living in marginal, low or very low food security. Aberdeen City-based charity Befriend a Child recognised that many of the families of their befriended children could often do with extra support and therefore launched their Family Support Project in 2022.
