The Bishops Conference of Scotland back SCIAF's call to restore life-saving aid NOW!

UK aid cuts are projected to hurt 55 million people globally, depriving them of access to basic services, like clean and safe water. It is a short-sighted decision that must be reversed.

Thank you to St Andrew's High for supporting this year's WEE BOX Appeal! 👏

We love to see school's creative ideas during Lent to support our sisters and brothers 💚

Last week, we were honoured to host the Caritas Europa board at the SCIAF offices.

Amongst important meetings, we were able to take them to various events, including a St Patrick's Day celebration at Immaculate Conception 🍀

You are warmly invited to join us in quiet prayer in St Andrew’s Cathedral, Glasgow on Friday 27th March after 1pm Mass.

We will pray the Stations of the Cross, reflecting on the final steps of Jesus’ journey to Calvary, led by seminarian Aidan Kelly. Please join us.

Thank you for hosting! Hope it went well 💚

Thank you for your support!! Well done everyone 😀

"Cutting aid will not defend the UK’s interests but rather will make the world a less safe place."

"The UK must restore the aid budget, and use its G20 Presidency to find solutions that bridge the gap between the huge need for aid and available resources - such as reforming the system that bleeds Africa dry in unfair debt repayments.

"These cuts risk undoing progress in the global effort to tackle extreme poverty. It will be the lowest amount of spending for overseas aid since records began in 1970.

Lorraine Currie, SCIAF CEO said "SCIAF is deeply disappointed to see that the UK Government is proceeding with devastating aid cuts over the next 2 years that will hit Africa hard with a 56% cut. These are the steepest aid cuts by any country in the G7. Make no mistake, these cuts will cost lives.

🚨 Today the UK Government has set out further details of its aid budget cuts, the bilateral aid to Africa will be cut by almost £900 million by 2028 as part of devastating changes to Britain’s international aid spending.

Wow, love the dance moves!! 💃

Big well done to E and SP! 💚 Thank you for supporting the WEE BOX this Lent

John (pictured holding a WEE BOX) from St Serf’s is a huge supporter of SCIAF, when asked why he supports he said:

‘I suppose with the scale of need in different parts of the world, the kind of work that SCIAF is doing should be one of our priorities.’

We are so proud of our pupils for putting their faith into action! Thank you to everyone who has supported our fundraising so far.

Action: That the small change in our WEE BOXES adds up to big changes—providing tools, training, and water sources that help communities build a better future.

Stewardship: How clean, safe water is a life-essential that we must never take for granted.

Solidarity: The reality for children who walk for hours every day under the sun just to find water.
