A bid to turn A-listed Capelrig House in Newton Mearns into a centre of excellence to help children recover from traumatic experiences faces an uncertain future due to rising costs.
Charity Children 1st has been working with East Renfrewshire Council to develop a facility to support child victims and witnesses in Newton Mearns.
It was billed as Scotland’s first Barnahus — an internationally recognised approach, first developed in Iceland, to protect children’s rights to justice and recovery — when plans were revealed in March 2021.
