About Achievement Bute
Achievement Bute is a voluntary organisation with charitable status, which was set up in 1998 in Rothesay on the Isle of Bute by parents of children with disabilities.
Our goal is to improve facilities and leisure opportunities for children and their families on the island. We provide a range of inclusive children's activities, an individualised family support service, and a confidential counselling service. Our events, clubs and holiday activities are designed to ensure that all children can participate, regardless of ability or disability.
All services complement each other, with the aim of enabling children with disabilities and their families to live their lives to the full. The Family Support Service provides dedicated, families-led care and support. A person-centred flexible approach is adopted.

Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees of Achievement Bute is a group of local people who are committed to these aims and who want Achievement Bute to thrive for the benefit of the children of Bute.
We have six board meetings per year, held during school term-time and the Board plays a key role in the growth of the charity, setting the overall direction and providing scrutiny to our processes and decisions.
