🌳 What do you think about playing outdoors in Angus?

We want to hear from parents, children and young people about the places where they play – whether that’s a park, street, garden, woodland or local play area. What do you like about the places you play? What could be better? And are there places you’d like to see improved?

There are different surveys depending on age, including a shorter one for under-6s. 👉 https://orlo.uk/XY6LX

Paper copies are also available in local libraries, community campuses and country parks.

Closes 4 November 2026.

Menopause Mentors Training 💜

This menopause awareness month we're shining a spotlight on a range of resources, support services, and information to help people better understand menopause and its impact on health and wellbeing.

Our Menopause Mentors training is a 4 hour session for anyone who is interested in becoming a mentor within their workplace or organisation.

It supports participants to share knowledge and resources around the menopause and support others. It is aimed at non specialist workers and will cover an overview of the menopause & impact on people's lives. It will look at how the information & resources can be shared with a group informally.

The next session is planned for Wednesday 24th March from 12.30-4.30 at Dundee College. If you are interested in booking a place, please email [email protected]

You can find out more on our website here: www.shbbvtayside.co.uk/menopause/
