Staff changes at Home-Start Deeside Alford and Strathdon

You may be aware there have been some staffing changes here recently.  Leah is taking a well-earned break and Lizzie has a new job in Dundee.  We wish them all the very best in their next ventures!

We are currently working closely with Home-Start Kincardine, to ensure we can continue to support families and volunteers in Deeside, Alford and Strathdon.   

We will update you as soon as we have more information.  Thank you for your patience and understanding. 

A Big Thank You from Home-Start Deeside, Alford and Strathdon Board of Trustees !
