About us

Dionne has been a member of Fraserburgh Community Council since 2021. 

Over the last year, she  has helped to co-ordinate a number of litter picks around the town, as part of the Litter Picking sub  

group. 

When not volunteering, Dionne is also known for being a teacher at a local primary school,  where she has worked for over 20 years. 

Dionne now looks forward to taking on her new role as Chair of the Community Council. 

She is excited to work alongside others, in order to further improve our town.

Alison has been a Community Councillor for 5 years. She joined shortly after retiring from teaching and wanted to get involved in something new, to get to know more about Fraserburgh and to help with any projects.

She ‘encouraged’ a couple of friends to join and they became the ‘Flower Fairies.’  The group had a desire to improve the town centre, to make it more attractive for locals and tourists alike.

During the last year, she has helped at a local food bank and hopes to continue this in the coming weeks.

Alison has lived in the Broch for nearly 50 years and has made many friends here. She enjoys travelling and when visiting new places, she likes to see other town centres’ floral displays. She thinks the Broch has a lot to offer locals and tourists, but there is always room for improvement!

Helena has been a member of  Fraserburgh Community Council since 2019 and believes that volunteering is a great way to meet new people and connect with your community.

She has a particular interest in green space projects and is an active member of the Flower Fairies subcommittee.

Helena is also involved with Police Scotland Youth Volunteers (PSYV)

who regularly volunteer within the community.

She also volunteers with Aberdeenshire North Foodbank.

All very different and varied roles and all very rewarding.

 Ken is now semi-retired and he joined 4 years ago after he initially provided the Flower Fairies with transport and a trailer to aid in clearing out old plants and debris from the Broadgate planters. His role developed from that to planting and watering.  
He and his wife Sylvia (also an FCC member) are ardent caravanners and visit many small towns around the country. He is in awe, at times, of their colourful floral displays within the towns he visits and felt this was missing in our town. 

Originally hailing from Yorkshire,  

Mary has lived in Sandhaven for 14 years. She is a retired nurse and a widow. Her daughter, grand-daughter, grandson and great-grandson live in the area.  

Mary is the Chairman of the Sheltered Housing Association, Vice President of Sandhaven W.I., Secretary to Fraserburgh and District Older People's Forum and also Sandhaven and Pitullie Public Hall Association.  

She is also a member of Fraserburgh Arts Group and when she has any time left she is a keen gardner and enjoys walks around the beautiful areas of Aberdeenshire.

 John has been a Community Council member since 2015. Born and bred in Fraserburgh, he is the retired Managing Director and retired Watchman Manager of SFRS, Scottish Deputy Co-ordinator International Rescue Corps, and is the Fraserburgh Community Council Resilience Group Coordinator.

John has been devoting a lot of his time working with a group of volunteers to open a Community Council Resilience Group, Community Food Larder.

He loves Fraserburgh, the beautiful beach for walking the dog.  He thinks Fraserburgh has great tourism potential, and John like so many of us would like to see more industry come to Fraserburgh.
