Who is Quarriers Quarriers is a Scottish charity committed to providing practical care and support for children, adults and families. We believe that each of us has the right and deserves the opportunity to live, work, socialise and be accepted within our own community. We are delighted that Arran Aromatics share our vision of an equal and just society where everyone can participate in and enjoy life.   How Quarriers makes a difference to some of Scotland’s most disadvantaged In Scotland today, thousands of people urgently need support and care to overcome physical, mental or emotional problems. But for many, especially those who are living in poverty, the support they are offered is of a poor quality, or it is simply not available at all. For over 130 years Quarriers has responded to the changing face of society, constantly meeting the needs of some of the most disadvantaged. Today our highly committed and dedicated staff spread across Scotland help over 17,000 people every day. Our work focuses on supporting;     Adults and Children with a disability   We provide residential or community-based care focusing on individual needs and personal freedoms enabling people to make their own life choices. Our short break services enable parents who care for a child with a disability to have some much needed time out to recharge their batteries.       Children and families   Our friendly and warm family centres offer advice and promote good parenting skills. We provide nursery facilities, drop-in services and support groups. Our childcare services allows parents under pressure the time and opportunity to train or work part time.       Homeless young people   Quarriers offers long-term accommodation for homeless young people, as well as short-term emergency shelter, practical information and help to overcome issues such as alcohol and drug addiction, giving them the skills to live an independent life.       Young people   Some young people may have chaotic home lives which lead directly to difficulties in mainstream schooling. Our specialist support team help young people in this situation to cope with and overcome their problems. Where this is not possible our own residential school can provide a safe alternative.       People with Epilepsy   Epilepsy is the most common serious neurological condition in the UK today. Through our fieldwork service, and unique National Epilepsy Assessment Centre, Quarriers reaches out and gives practical, emotional and social support to 13,000 people with Epilepsy.       Carers   Our dedicated carers centres provides respite care, support, advice, regular breaks and a friendly listening ear to carers of all ages committed to the care of a friend or family member with an illness or disability.     Why your help makes a difference to our work?
