CARE’s objective in this area is to influence policymakers through reasoned, grace-filled campaigning, and to be known in the political institutions and assemblies as a key player to resource policymakers on matters relating to bioethics, marriage and the family, life issues, and education.

We have a cooperative relationship with Evangelical Alliance Scotland, and the parliamentary officers of both organisations work closely together.

On particular issues we will work with sympathetic organisations and also regularly encourage our supporters and churches to express their opinions.
