One Parent Families Scotland and Abertay Housing Association, who already work closely together to provide community activities from the Families House in Fintry, will be extending what they do. A new joint project will provide a range of activities to support residents in the north and south ends of Fintry. It will operate from both the Families House in Grampian Gardens, and also a converted flat in Fintryside.

The project will provide local information points for financial information, including support to apply for benefits on line, offer group sessions on topics including budgeting and cooking, and encourage healthy family activities and family play sessions. Initial employability activities will take place to support people on their journey into work and will include confidence building, supporting access to volunteering opportunities and support with job searches and applications.

This project is being supported for one year through a grant from the Scottish Government’s People and Communities Fund.
