^{WHO ARE WE?}

Rainbow Rogues first started in 2005 as part of the Surestart in Aberdeenshire.

The group was set up to support families who have very young children with a disability and or additional support needs (ASN).

There is no cost to families. The group is now a charitable organisation funded by grants and donations. Rainbow Rogues has its own constitution, policies and procedures.

We are members of Early Years Scotland and Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action.

All staff and volunteers are checked through the PVG system.

^{OUR STAFF}

We have three experienced, PVG checked play workers.

^{OUR AIMS}

For parents and carers with children below the age of 5 who have additional support needs (ASN) and or disability to attend our group and have access to support and information.

We provide a quality play environment for the children whilst parents and carers have access to support whilst meeting other parents.
