From its founding days as the St Aidan's Project 25 years ago, the charity in all its different guises has adapted robustly to changing local needs and priorities, driven by an overriding objective to provide opportunities to local people who needed our help in actively changing their lives.
During the forthcoming year, the charity will be marking its successes and looking optimistically to the future as it continues to play a key role in an inclusive and successful Scotland. |

"In the 7th Century, St Aidan was a monk whose gentleness was a feature of the success of his mission. I would like to think that the same spirit has been a mark of this little piece of pioneering mission in the late twentieth century." |
