🌿 Have Your Say on the Future of Rosefield Community Garden 🌿

We're seeking your views on a proposal to transfer ownership of the Rosefield Community Garden site in Kirriemuir to Kirrie Connections. Kirrie Connections has maintained and funded the garden for many years and provides a welcoming outdoor space for people living with dementia, their families and carers, local sheltered housing residents, and the wider community. The proposal would help secure the long-term future of this valued community space.

📢 Our online consultation is now open!
You can find more information about the proposal and complete the survey on our Tenant Participation Engage Site here: 👉 https://orlo.uk/J776g

🗣️ Want to speak to us in person? Our Tenant Participation Officers will be at the Co-op in Kirriemuir on Tuesday 3 November from 11.30am to 12.30pm to answer questions and hear your views.

🤝 We will also be engaging directly with local sheltered housing residents, as well as Kirrie Connections service users, carers, staff and volunteers, to ensure those most closely connected to the garden have an opportunity to take part.

🗓️ The consultation closes on Sunday 8 November 2026.

Your feedback will help inform the decision on the future ownership of this important community space.

Last week our Angus Care Home Support Team recently delivered a workshop on Adults with Incapacity (AWI) and Power of Attorney (POA) at the Mobile Skills Unit in Dundee. 👏

The Mobile Skills Unit provides accessible clinical skills training, education and learning opportunities for the public and professionals.

Feedback gathered after the session highlighted how valuable participants found the training, particularly the clear explanations, practical examples and guidance on managing capacity and incapacity scenarios.

It’s great to hear that the session helped participants build their understanding and confidence in these important areas. ✅
