Peer support is when people with similar experiences are brought together to provide emotional, practical and social support to each other.Nobody should face dementia alone. Our Angus wide peer support network aims to bring those in the early stage of dementia, both those with a diagnosis and carers, to give them an opportunity to have their voices heard and to receive vital support with sustaining their quality of life.
Sessions run on first Thursday of each month, 11am – 1pm

The Royal British Legion Brechin
Since 1921 we have stood for and provided support to veterans and their families.
When servicemen and women return to civilian life after serving with the Armed Forces, some are in need of community and friendship, maybe as a result of their experiences in the services or purely because they are no longer part of the ‘military family’ they had come to rely on. We make a difference every day to the lives of those veterans through our comradeship and befriending programme, developing strong communities and supporting remembrance.
Our large family network is spread across Scotland and helps support veterans and their families to get on with their lives and assists those who require assistance.
