East Park is a well‑established Scottish charity delivering specialist education and care services for children and young people with complex support needs. The organisation has a long history of providing safe, nurturing environments that enable young people to develop, grow, and prepare for adulthood.
The Chief Executive will lead the organisation overall, setting clear strategic direction and overseeing day‑to‑day delivery, while working closely with the Board to secure East Park’s long‑term sustainability and positive impact.
Corporate Challenge 2023: Office to Office Cycle
Every January, all colleagues across Livingston James Group choose a charity that they would like to support as part of our annual giving process. Our business donates a proportion of annual profits to all the selected charities every year, and distribution of funds is weighted based on votes from candidates and clients who are kind enough to provide us with feedback following our recruitment processes.
At random, one charity is also selected for the Corporate Challenge; and this year, it was St Margaret’s Children and Family Care Society!
On Sunday 10th September, following on from our successful Fundraising Quiz in August, colleagues from across Livingston James Group will be cycling from our Edinburgh office to our Glasgow office to raise additional funds for St Margaret’s.
We would love to raise as much money as possible for this fantastic charity, so if you’d like to support our fundraising efforts, please visit our JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/page/livingston-james-1692868261352
St Margaret’s was initially founded in 1955 as an adoption society to support children and families in need throughout the UK, but it has since gone on to develop additional education services and a therapy centre offering support to all children, families and professionals within a trauma informed framework.
Wish us luck, and fingers crossed the good weather stays!
