The Shetland Family Information Service Directory

This is the 2012 edition of the directory.

Being a parent can be the most challenging and rewarding task anyone will undertake. Access to good quality information about services, activities and sources of support can make a big difference and help you to make informed choices for you and for your family. This Directory has been compiled by organisations in Shetland, who are working to support the well being of families in these islands. It is hoped that families and those working with parents, carers and children will all benefit from this source of information.

The directory is depending on everyone to contribute on new information for families; its goal is to be amended as we go – both by people in the S.I.C, volunteer organizations and others. If your information is not included here, or your information or contact details has changed, please contact The Bruce Family Centre with your details.
