Muirhead Outreach

organisation and gained its charitable status in November 2004. It is now under the new name of Muirhead Outreach Project. The project is working inconjunction....
Our commitment to maintaining children in their own families and communities led to the setting up of the Muirhead Outreach Project. We are a registered charity (SC 035629) offering services to children, young people and families experiencing difficulties.
