Part of Organised Outdoor Community Play Fund.

The vision of Stepping Stones for Families is that all children and young people have an enjoyable life in a healthy, fair and safe environment where they are respected and supported to achieve their full potential.

Their aspiration is to be an organisation that makes a positive lasting difference to families, young people and communities. Headquartered in Paisley, they pride themselves on ensuring that the vast majority of their income is spent on delivering services, such as the Possilpark Outdoor Community Play Project.
