Active Schools relies heavily on volunteers to assist with and run various clubs around Angus. You don’t have to be sporty to lend a hand – just enthusiastic! We are looking for people to help out with a range of activities. From woodland walks to after-school sports clubs – there is something for volunteers of all ages and abilities. The time commitment is up to you and training will be provided.

Why volunteer?

Volunteering is an ideal way to get involved in sport and physical activity, develop new skills and stay engaged in a sport. Volunteering can be a rewarding activity which helps you to meet new people and take on new challenges through roles such as coaching or administration.  There are many reasons to volunteer in sport – volunteers make sport happen and create the next generation of sporting stars.  You could be giving back but you’ll also be helping make sport happen, without people like you, sport would not work!

Angus Independent Advocacy is an independent organisation working alongside vulnerable people to help them have their voice heard and safeguard their rights.  We work with people who are at risk of being unable to safeguard their rights, and who may have:

mental ill health
a learning disability
dementia
an acquired brain injury, or
are an older person.

We are a charitable organisation run entirely by volunteers, operating throughout Angus producing CDs of local news for blind and partially sighted people.  We provide a monthly CD, with the local news for your area, delivered free of charge to your door. We have teams covering the local newspapers in Arbroath, Brechin, Carnoustie/Monifieth, Forfar/ Kirriemuir, and Montrose. We are always looking for volunteers to read extracts from the local newspaper at a recording session held once a month, taking no more than an hour, and volunteers who are proficient with laptop use to help with recordings.

Fancy doing something positive and getting out the house for a few hours on a Saturday. Meeting new people, catching up with old friends, this could be the place for you. We want to promote positive mental health and wellbeing in Carnoustie and the Angus area.

Carnoustie Baptist Church is a church in Carnoustie, planted from and still in partnership with Central Baptist Church in Dundee, and a member church of the Baptist Union of Scotland. The first service was held in March 2011 at the Carnoustie Golf Hotel, and we now meet at 101-103 High Street, opposite the War Memorial. The following statement gives a summary of some of our core beliefs:
‘We hold to the historic truths of the Christian faith believing in one God in three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That the Bible is the inspired word of God. We also believe that Jesus Christ is the only hope for a broken world and that through his atoning and substitutionary death on the cross he opened up the possibility of forgiveness and relationship with God through faith in Him alone.’

We meet every Sunday at 11am, and everyone, including families, is welcome to come along. Children can go to the Sunday School during part of the service, while parents are welcome to keep younger children in our crèche area at the back of the hall and continue to enjoy the service; there is also a separate crèche room if needed.
After every service tea and coffee are served, which is one way the congregation can get to know one another and care for one another better.

Some of the other things going on in the church include the Knit & Natter group (2pm, 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month) and the Men’s Breakfast (8.30am, 1st Saturday of each month). We also are run a Summer holiday club for primary school-age children!

Carnoustie Panmure Football Club are a Scottish Junior football club from the town of Carnoustie, Angus. Formed in 1936, they are nicknamed the Gowfers due to the town’s well-established links to the sport of golf.

The group’s home is Dibble Tree Theatre and during the year presents a pantomime, two full-length plays and two one-act plays. There are currently over 150 members. The club is affiliated to NODA (the National Operatic and Drama Association) and to SCDA (Scottish Community Drama Association). The group has a busy social calendar, has an active youth presence and enters productions in the SCDA Competitive Festivals.

For Carnoustie is a new and very local Charity (SC043098)

The Charity aims to provide funding to local organisations and individuals based in Carnoustie and surrounding area which provide a benefit to local people and/or the local community.

We aim to raise these funds in our Charity/Community shop on Carnoustie High Street which opened in January 2012.

Once we secure the long term financial stabliity of the shop we will begin to distribute funds raised.

The distribution of funds will be agreed by For Carnoustie’s 12 trustees who have been working in the background during late 2011 to bring the project to fruition.

In April 2012 we received our Charity number from OSCR.
