The Arbroath Town Board members have been actively engaging with the local community in recent weeks, striving to better understand the needs and concerns of residents.
Supporting Community Initiatives
Arbroath Town Board Chair Peter Stirling has been helping at the Foodbank and also attending the Arbroath FC Community Trust Café, lending a hand to serve soup alongside the dedicated team of volunteers. The café, open Mondays and Thursdays from 11am to 1pm at Life Church, provides hot meals, drinks, and a warm and welcoming space for community members.
Town businessman and Town Board Member Nevada Mitchell spent an afternoon at the Well Bean Cafe, offering a safe, alcohol and drug free venue to meet and socialise. Health, wellbeing and recovery are promoted and there is access to self-help resources and professionals from local services.

Championing Important Causes

She has been involved with For Families By Families – supporting those who care for someone with drug and alcohol addiction. And, attended the Candlelit Vigil to honour the lives of women and girls tragically lost to gender-based violence.
