Empowering families at Relationships Scotland Tayside & Fife

A new garden for Relationships Scotland Tayside & Fife

As with all our projects, we’re committed to delivering benefits to the communities we work in, and our latest project saw us working with CalForth Construction to renovate a garden for the fantastic Relationships Scotland Tayside and Fife, who support 1,500 people annually with their services.

Relationships Scotland, based in Dundee, provides crucial support services to families across Tayside and Fife, including counselling, therapeutic support, family mediation, and children’s contact, and in the past 12 months alone, beneficiaries have received over 8,000 support sessions.

Creating a key space for families in need of support

The newly upgraded garden will have huge benefits for the families and individuals who seek the services at Relationships Scotland Tayside and Fife. The now complete project has created a key space with a welcoming, calming environment that supports mental wellbeing and fosters positive experiences for both children and adults in need.

For the last 40 years, the service has provided relationship support to people in circumstances where high family conflict, relationship breakdown or separation threaten their well-being, resilience and prospects, and specifically those of any children involved. The physical environment has always been a key tool to engage children, and adults, to create positive experiences for them and to strengthen the potential benefit of the support we offer. The in-kind help from Vital Energi and its local contractors, CalForth Construction, has enabled us to have the garden space of “our dreams” as a staff team, one that will maximise the impact of our work with families
