The Amity Foundation, Nanjing
The Scottish Churches China Group is involved with the following projects:
- Amity Children’s Development Centre is a pre-school unit for children with Autism. In partnership with New Struan School, Alloa, we have sent specialists to Nanjing to present at Amity organised conferences and to run staff training. Staff from the Centre have come to Scotland for training.
- The Amity Home of Blessings is a small unit for young adults with learning difficulties. We have provided support to the Home for many years. Currently we are contributing towards the salary of the Home’s Social Worker. We also support management training for senior staff.
- Staff Capacity Building – training for staff involved in the care of the elderly is based in two locations in Nanjing.
- Ren Gu is a Residential Home and Community Centre providing day care for the elderly. Besides general staff development training the SCCG will send an experienced Volunteer Manager from Scotland to help develop a recruitment/training strategy for volunteers.
