Aberlour Childcare Trust
We make life easier for families where a child has a disability.
Based on a quiet street in Prestonpans, we offer a safe, homely environment for a child to come and stay for a short break that gives their families a rest from their caring role. During that break, children enjoy a range of fun activities and experiences with our staff who specialise in taking care of children with disabilities. Our service is very much a ‘home from home’ for the children who stay with us there.
