Angus 50+ Fairs
Due to the Westminster-driven cost-of-living crisis, my office has sponsored events across Angus. The first of these were held in Kirriemuir and Montrose at the beginning of summer 2023.
The focus of these events is to provide advice and support for the rising cost-of-living, health and welfare - and are being delivered together with local MSPs, Graeme Dey and Mairi Gougeon, local Angus councillors, Citizen’s Advice, Welfare Rights, Reengage, Alzheimer Scotland, North East Sensory Services, Pensionwise and many other organisations.
