Committed to Good Support Active

Started 2020. The Committed to Good Support project will develop practical resources that: • Make it easier for community groups’ immediate response to Covid • Make it easier for older people to get the support they need in this crisis stage and as long as this continues • Put community groups in a stronger place for the next stage of responding to Covid-19 and being part of how communities in Scotland work in the future.

Angus Transport Connections Active

Started 2020. Angus Transport Connections is a short project exploring transport problems in Brechin, Edzell, Kirriemuir and the surrounding area. The aim is for the community to work together to improve access to local transport. The project will find out more about the problems people have using transport and what they need. It will also ask people about solutions and learn from other communities.

People Having More Choice in their Lives

Money Owls

Started 2017. Money Owls is a project about increasing older people’s confidence to deal with their own money matters. We want to do this by building a team of volunteers to raise awareness amongst older people around money and money issues. Older people have told us they would like better and clearer information about money, managing money and where to get help and advice.
