Glen Isla Project – Angus
A session at the Glen Isla Project in Angus provides the opportunity for skills development with a sewing lesson
The Glen Isla Project in Angus is specifically for women. They're able to engage with local communities and projects through various initiatives including a music class, DIY, sewing and ‘bonding squares’ for parents of new-born babies in Special Care Baby Units.
These activities increase the women’s mental and physical wellbeing, equip them with new skills and raise their confidence and self-esteem.
The project provides counselling sessions on a 1:1 basis and as a group supports the women to look at the issues affecting their offending behaviour.
The project is also proactive at engaging with local communities to provide opportunities for the women to ‘payback’ to the community through various initiatives,
It also increases women’s mental and physical wellbeing, and their ability to use new skills they have learned such as DIY, playing musical instruments and sewing/dressmaking

Glen Isla Projects
The Glen Isla (Statutory group) & Glen Clova Projects (Voluntary groups) (women only) work with several third sector agencies at bases in Montrose and Forfar, leased from the sector.
Workers represent the Projects alongside voluntary colleagues at various working groups and Glen Clova has a member of staff seconded from one of the agencies.
In January 2021, the Glens Projects set up a service user consultation group to offer the women taking part an opportunity to contribute to service design and delivery in Angus. The group are also invited to take part in other surveys and consultations eg Mental Health Provision in Tayside.
The women said they felt respected and included by being given the opportunity to voice their views and they hoped their comments would help shape and design services for the future.
