Angus Council Justice Service

Community Justice seeks to prevent and reduce offending in a fair and effective way by addressing its underlying causes, increasing positive citizenship, increasing public safety and re-assurances and reduce costs. It is vital that the model includes victims and witnesses of crime; people who have offended their families; business and local companies.

If you would like more information on how Community Justice works in Angus contact us on 01307 492150. For a look at the national picture visit Community Justice Scotland.

Eighteen and Under (18U)

We aim to raise awareness and see an end to all forms of violence and abuse, including bullying and discrimination. We have an evidence-based personal safety intervention that uses age-appropriate games and activities to promote resilience and confidence to stand up to violence. We are currently looking for volunteers to support the delivery of our Violence is Preventable program, and also have opportunities in admin, fundraising and content creation and promotion. All volunteers must be willing to undergo a PVG check and be able to commute to Forfar for training. Most of our work will be based in the community.

I am available Mondays and Fridays in Room 12 of the Cross and am open for people to pop in to the office to ask questions. Alternatively, you can drop me an email at hannahballingall.18u@gmail.com 

We are also looking for new volunteers to join us to help deliver our VIP programme.

Women’s Rape And Sexual Abuse Centre

We support women, including trans women, and young people of all genders (aged 8 -18), who have experienced any form of sexual violence, abuse, or exploitation in their lives. We promote equality and raise public awareness of the routes of sexual violence and its damaging and life-changing effects. Dundee and Angus WRASAC are a specialist agency providing free and confidential support services to survivors who have been raped, sexually abused, or sexually exploited at any time in their life. Over the last 36 years we have grown our service from a small team working voluntarily in Dundee to a locally and nationally funded service.

Our centre is staffed entirely by female workers and volunteers who are trained to a high standard and share the view that violence against women and children is an abuse of power and should not happen.
