From a person’s first breath through to their last, VSA has stood next to the people of Aberdeen for 150 years offering care, support, and vital services to vulnerable people living in our communities as and when they needed it.
As times have changed, so has the way we have delivered our services, but always with one ambition: to give the people of Aberdeen the best of care to enable them to live the best of lives.
VSA, changing lives every day for 150 years, yesterday, today and with your help tomorrow.
Your support, and the support of others, help VSA and the people who benefit from our services by affording us the opportunity to give vulnerable children and adults in the North East, the skills, opportunities, experiences, and environments they need to realise their dreams and lead more independent and integrated lives.
Every vulnerable child and adult deserves an opportunity to get the help, care and support they need to realise their dreams plus reach their full potential. Your donation has the power to change a life.

Today we are here for you, helping care for you or your vulnerable relatives and friends. The Coronavirus outbreak is one of the most challenging we have faced due to its highly contagious nature. Now more than ever VSA will need the support of the people of Aberdeen.
Every year Easter Anguston Farm welcomes over 20,000 visitors and as a charity, we do not charge any entry fee for the thousands of families who visit us. Instead, we rely on your generous donations to enable us to provide free access to this fantastic facility so that all children and families can come and learn about the animals we care for, play in our parks and learn about our woodland conservation while taking in a visit to our enchanted fairy woods.
There is a growing demand for mental wellbeing services, with 1 in 3 adults being diagnosed with a mental health condition in Aberdeen alone every year.
As Aberdeen’s largest and trusted provider of mental health services, we are more than aware of the pressures this brings. As a result, we have plans to build an ambitious purpose-built mental wellbeing facility in the heart of Aberdeen to support adults aged 30+ on their journey to recovery.
