This week, The Beacon celebrates one year since opening. We first launched on 1 April 2025 as a virtual service, offering support by phone and video. In June 2025, our newly renovated building opened, giving people the option to drop in for support with emotional distress and/or suicidal thoughts.

If you or someone you know needs help, we're here.

You'll find more details on how to get support in our service flyer below.

It’s Social Prescribing Day today! But what exactly does that mean?

Social prescribing recognises that our health is affected by things like loneliness, stress, or housing. It’s a way for healthcare professionals to "prescribe" non-medical support, such as:

🎨 Creative arts & cooking classes
👟 Physical activity & sports
🤝 Volunteering opportunities
💬 Peer support groups

Our Community Link Workers are based at GP surgeries throughout Angus. Talk to them to see how they can help you and to find out what’s available in your area.

There is no limit to how many times you can meet with them. They aren't here to "tick a box" and send you on your way. They're here to work with you for as long as it takes to get you where you want to be. No rush, no pressure, just genuine support.

Find out more, and contact your Community Link Worker here: https://www.voluntaryactionangus.org.uk/community-link-workers/

In Scotland, all young people are offered the MenACWY vaccine in secondary school (S3).

If you’re under 25 and haven’t had it yet, there’s still time. Contact your local immunisation team to book your appointment: nhsinform.scot/gettingvaccinations

Remember, the MenACWY vaccine protects against some types of meningitis, but not all, so it’s still important to know the signs and symptoms.
