This week Sally Magnusson talks to columnist Melanie Reid about life and living following the horse riding accident which left her paralysed from the neck down.

Scotland urgently needs more foster carers. We consider the challenges and rewards of foster care for families and the children they open their homes to.

Following an eventful week at the Church of Scotland's General Assembly we get a snapshot of life behind the scenes with the people who make it all happen. And outgoing Convenor of the Church & Society Council of the Church of Scotland, Reverend Ian Galloway, shares his views on some of the week's highlights.

Children's author Hilary Robinson tackles the sensitive issue of child bereavement in her illustrated book "The Copper Tree".

And Sally speaks to Don MacDonald who left his comfortable Edinburgh lifestyle with his family and set up a farm in Zambia for local street children.
