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.

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.
COVID-19 has had a profound impact on our community resource side of the farm- it has simply been devasting. The farm and its associated woodland, conservation and education areas provides a vital community resource that is invaluable. As a charity we do not charge any entry fee for the community to access this resource, instead, we rely on voluntary donations to enable us to provide free access for all.
