As long as you have room for a young person in your home and time to support them, we’d like to hear from you.
The Council provides full training and ongoing support to carers. Weekly fees are paid to enable you to deliver the support and guidance the young person in your care needs.

The Very Revd Hunter Farquharson, who has served as Provost of St Ninian’s Cathedral for 24 years, is retiring at the end of July.

Many in the Diocese, as well as the Cathedral congregation, will want to say thank you and farewell to Hunter as he starts a new chapter of life.
