The Scottish Government’s Children and Families Directorate is funding ‘Improving care for women and families facing a TOPFA in Scotland’ project (2020 to 2021).

Goals also include adding volunteers to ARC’s Scottish peer support network and equipping professionals to provide the highest quality of individualised care.
