Tealing Community Action Plan

Tealing village is just a few miles north of Dundee. It is a small community of around 800 residents in approximately 350 households spread across a 15 square mile village area.

In 2022, we worked with Tealing Development Trust to develop an action plan for the village based upon local people’s views and ideas. The action plan sets out priorities for the village, on good ways to use the Community Benefit Fund from Seagreen Wind Energy.

After our initial work in summer of 2022, we welcomed a new Tealing Community Co-ordinator in 2023. They were with us for one year to firm up the 5-year Community Action Plan and to begin to develop some of the projects, such as: more community groups and activities, developing the village hall as a lively community hub, and safe off-road paths.

What we're doing

We were commissioned by the volunteers of Tealing Development Trust to carry out community-wide engagement on the issues and priorities for people including:

An accurate current socio-economic profile of the community
A comprehensive programme of community engagement and consultation to inform the Community Plan

Production of a Community Plan which includes both short- and long-term priorities and associated outcome

The impact it's having so far

We have been hearing from people that Tealing is a quiet and friendly place to live. But it is also described as scattered, spread out and disconnected, making it harder to socialise and access services.

Our Community Co-ordinator worked with the Wednesday Social Club, a group for older people.

The Development Trust welcomed almost 100 supportive residents to become members after an incredibly successful summer bbq and family fun day where another 28 residents joined.
