This partnership will allow us to continue providing vital services to the most vulnerable people in our community. We continue to see the numbers of service users rising across all our services, which can only be supported by the unwavering commitment from our team, and generous donations from corporate donors. We cannot wait to get started.”

With an office located in Aberdeen, we felt strongly that our commitment here should be no different. Through our charitable foundation, Prax Foundation Roots, I am delighted that we are providing support to Aberdeen Cyrenians, so that we can have a positive direct impact on some of North-east Scotland’s most vulnerable and socially excluded people.”
