Our Story
Parent Network Scotland (PNS) is a national parent-led organisation based in Glasgow, but working across many local authorities in Scotland. Parent Network Scotland was originally part of Parent Line Plus in London, which was founded in 1986. Parent Network Scotland became independent in 1999 and went on to develop a Scotland-wide network of facilitators.
Majority funded by the Scottish Government, Big Lottery, Robertson Trust Glasgow city council, Hostling scotland, The Robertson trust, West Dunbartonshire council.
PNS is also supported by a range of contracts from the voluntary and statutory sector. The organisation now has a staff team based in Glasgow with trainees and Family Hub Coordinators based in several local authorities.

PNS believes in peer-to-peer support, and that parents themselves have the solutions to many of the challenges they face with the support and encouragement of trained parent facilitators, and of other parents.

PNS believe that parents matter, because children matter.
