Arthur Pritchard spent the majority of his professional career in the north end of Arbroath, arriving at Hayshead School in 1987 and going on to serve as Head Teacher there for many years, aside from a brief period as Head Teacher at Inverkeilor Primary. Though now a resident of Carnoustie, his connection to Arbroath has never diminished.

Since retiring over fifteen years ago, he has devoted countless hours to the area’s charitable sector. He manages the Old and Abbey Foodbank and runs the Arbroath Football Club Community Trust’s Community Café operating twice weekly.

Arthur’s principal aim on the board is to safeguard and build upon Arbroath’s already strong charitable sector, ensuring the town’s most vulnerable residents remain at the heart of its future.

“Modern day society will continue to leave many behind. Successful development has to consider how we ensure that those who need support feel included and valued within their community.”
